That, however, is not the way of life you learned when you heard about Christ 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 4:20-24 (NIV)
Ever feel like it’s time for a shake up? This doesn’t always mean acquiring more things; it could simply be about viewing yourself from a refreshing perspective.
In Ephesians 4:22-24, we are encouraged to throw off our old selves and embrace our new identity in Christ — one that’s created in true righteousness and holiness. To ditch your old self, the one that’s stuck in those outdated life choices and shady desires, is like clearing out your closet of all those “what was I thinking?” outfits.
Get ready to put on a brand-new persona, crafted after the likeness of the best designer ever – Jesus Christ. If you are a believer, meaning you have confessed that Jesus Christ is your Lord and you believe that He died on the Cross for your sins. You believe He rose again and lives. You believe in God, the Father, God, the Son, and God, the Holy Spirit. Well then you’re ready. This is all about stepping up and into true righteousness and holiness, and trust me, it will feel as good as slipping into your favorite cozy sweater.
God does not want our lives to be only that of uncertainty on earth. There is peace, grace and a whole ocean of the goodness of God waiting for you! What do you say, ready for a revamp?
Trust God. Seek Him. Be Affirmed in Christ.
