And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
We like to talk about abundant life. Many of us think that abundant life has to do with "having" more than "giving." The focus is more on the "abundant" and less on the "life" Well, the actual meaning of the word perfectness here in Colossians 3 is "developing and living a life of mature godliness." Jesus tells us in Matthew 5:48, "Be ye therefore perfect even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect." This perfectness binds us to God, and that, in turn, causes us to be in His favor, His anointing and His most gracious love. His abundance is His love to us which give us the greatest fulfillment in life. In other words, seek life in Christ and the abundance will follow.
