Col 3:12-17 KJV 

12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; 13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also [do] ye. 14 And above all these things [put on] charity, which is the bond of perfectness. 15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. 17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, [do] all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

OBSERVATION QUESTIONS
1) What eight (8) heart attitudes are we (the elect of God) to put on? Why? (v.12-14)
2) What is to rule in our hearts? (v.15)
3) What is to dwell in us richly and how will that manifest? (v.16)
4) What is to be done in the name of Jesus and in thankfulness to God? (v.17)

APPLICATION QUESTIONS
5) What do you do to "put on" Christ?
6) What may be missing this day as you "put on" Christ? 
7) What will you do to ensure that you are fully clothed in His righteousness?

LIFE LESSONS
8) To "put on" Christ daily, our minds must be renewed daily by the Word of God and the conviction of the Holy Spirit in our areas of weakness 
9) The Word of God that we know and the Holy Spirit enable believers to be more like Christ.
