Put Off
Your Old Self
So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must
no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking. They are
darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of
the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts. Having lost
all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge
in every kind of impurity, with a continual lust for more.
You,
however, did not come to know Christ that way. Surely you heard of him and were
taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus. You were taught,
with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is
being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of
your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true
righteousness and holiness.
Ephesians 4:17-24
Looking
good is not a bad thing. The key is what you look like inside to God, rather
than on the outside to everyone else.
Are you
loving, and gentle, merciful, patient, and caring?
Are
you willing to keep coming back to God for help in getting the spiritual
character enhancement needed?
