We need to put on our new self……
become the person God created us to be – righteous and holy.
New attitudes.
Different behaviors.
Take off our old, selfish, sinful thoughts.
“Be made new’, Paul tells us in Ephesians 4.
In our minds.
In our hearts.
This is a life-long process for all of us.
We each has a lot of ‘old’ that needs to be put off and ‘new’ that needs to be etched in our mind so that we can be transformed.
So we stay on this journey towards God, putting off the old and putting on the new.
We let God renew our minds with the truth.
And we become more and more like Christ everyday, every month, every year.
That’s the goal. As we race into January of a new year, lets commit to letting the Holy Spirit shift our transformation into turbo gear next year. Out with the old – in with the new! 2015, here we come!
Please guide us, dear Father.
Absolutely true and as 2 Corinthians 5:17 states we should all become New Creations to honor our Lord! Nicely put, blessings and Merry Christmas,
Thanks for the encouragement! Many blessings to you this Christmas, too!
