Ephesians 4:24 "..put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness"
My 13 year old daughter Jenna recently wrote 'I have learned not to judge others which makes a huge difference in life... the real meaning of family is when everyone works together and encourages each other...and I no longer down look down at people who are different than me and have stopped making side comments about them" This is a perfect example of putting on the new self. Before we come to Christ or rather Christ comes to us and fills us with his Holy Spirit, we are slaves to unholy thinking and behaviour, sure we try to be good but most often we fail. When we follow Jesus as our lord and Saviour the Bible says "we are a new creation," and it starts in our mind, our way of thinking. It is however up to us to put it into effect. So don't delay, put on the new self today because as the verse tells us "you were created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness."
