Colossians 3:14-16
14 But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection. 15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be 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.

Love is essential to walking with Christ. We must allow peace to rule our hearts as we know we are forgiven forever, and are putting to death our fleshly sins' desires. All this comes from yielding to His word, giving it permission in a sense to fill our lives. Love without truth is impossible in a godly sense; peace based on lies repeated to ourselves is no better. Ah, but truth filling us allows solid peace with God and others so that we can truly love with no demand for anything in return.
Colossians 3:17 And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.
