Many Christians hope their ‘niceness,’ including compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience, will lead to God accepting and loving them based on their virtue. But in Colossians 3, Paul flips the order. Those who have received Jesus by faith are already chosen, holy, and loved. In light of this, Christians are called to live lives of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience that reflects who Jesus is.
