"Put On Love" by Maverick City Music is a powerful and inspiring song that calls us to clothe ourselves in love and live out the teachings of Jesus Christ. With its heartfelt lyrics and captivating melody, this song serves as a reminder of the importance of love in our lives and how it can transform not only ourselves but also our relationships with others.
The song begins by emphasizing the need to forgive others as Christ forgave us. It encourages us to extend grace and compassion towards others, just as God has shown us. This message aligns with the teachings of Jesus in Matthew 6:14-15, where he says, "For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins." By choosing to forgive and show love to others, we are reflecting the love and forgiveness that God has shown us.
The chorus of the song declares that above all else, we are to put on love. This echoes the words of the apostle Paul in Colossians 3:14, where he writes, "And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity." Love is to be the foundation of our actions and interactions with others. It is through love that we can truly reflect the character of Christ and experience unity within the body of believers.
Throughout the song, there is a plea for Jesus to lead us and show us the better way. It acknowledges our need for guidance and transformation from fear to faith. This resonates with Psalm 119:105, which states, "Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path." As we seek guidance from Jesus and His Word, we can walk in love and follow the example He has set for us.
The bridge of the song emphasizes the importance of breaking down boundaries and tearing down borders. It calls for unity and love among all people, regardless of tribe, tongue, or background. This aligns with the teachings of the apostle Paul in Galatians 3:28, where he states, "There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." The love of Christ breaks down barriers and unites us as His children.
"Put On Love" is a song of declaration and surrender. It calls us to put on the garment of love and to let go of pride, anger, and fear. It reminds us that love is not just an emotion but a choice and an action. It challenges us to love our brothers, sisters, neighbors, and even our enemies, just as Christ has loved us.
In conclusion, "Put On Love" by Maverick City Music is a beautiful and impactful song that encourages us to live out the teachings of Jesus by putting on love. Its lyrics, rooted in scripture, remind us of the importance of forgiveness, grace, and unity in our relationships with others. This song serves as a powerful reminder of the transformative power of love and how it can change our lives and the world around us.
