There are some chapters in the Bible that just lay it out there -- this is what life ought to look like. This is how people should treat each other. You've got Matthew 5, Romans 12, Philippians 2, James 2, and the last few verses in Acts 2. Colossians 3 is certainly on that list as well.
Imagine a world free from immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed. A place where nobody is victimized by anger, rage, malice, slander or filthy language. A society characterized by compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience and forgiveness. Where love is given and received by all.
Where wives and husbands are loving and respectful to each other, and where children are patiently and lovingly taught and disciplined. Where employers and employees are committed to doing their best for each other, and where the common good is the desired result of all labor. And all this motivated by a passionate desire to love and serve God out of thankfulness for what He has done for us.
It's guaranteed in eternity, and it's possible now. This is God's desire for all of us.
