In Colossians 3:12-17 Paul offers a game plan to help us live for Jesus each day:

1. Imitate Christ’s compassion by showing kindness and having a forgiving attitude (v. 12-13)
2. Let love guide your life (v. 14)
3. Let the peace of Christ rule in your heart
   (v. 15)
4. Always be thankful (v. 15)
5. Keep God’s Word in you at all times (v. 16)
6. Live your life as a representative of Jesus Christ (v. 17)

As a Christian, “doing it all in the name of the Lord Jesus” means you represent Christ at all times.  What impression do people have of Christ when they see or talk with you? What changes can you make in your life to reflect Christ to others? Start by reading Colossians 3:12-17 and “put on love, which binds all other virtues together in perfect unity”.
