What does it mean to put on charity?

Answered in 1 source

To put on charity means to intentionally and actively demonstrate love in our actions towards others as guided by the Holy Spirit.

Putting on charity, as Paul instructs in Colossians 3:14, signifies a conscious decision to embody and express love towards others. This involves an active effort to reflect God's love in our interactions, akin to how one puts on clothing. It requires daily grace and reliance on the Holy Spirit to cultivate a heart that loves genuinely. Charity embodies forgiveness, kindness, and sacrifice, thereby holding together the other virtues we practice as believers. It is not inherent to our nature but is a result of God's transformative work in us as we grow in our relationship with Christ.
