Put on your new nature Ephesians 4:24

Good morning everyone! God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!

So, we have been visiting about being one body, that each one of us is important to the body, and that we are new in Christ and must cast aside the old nature.   Yes, we will still sin, but let us not forget our saving grace, which is Jesus Christ, LORD and savior.

    Ephesians 4:24 “Put on your new nature, created to be like God-truly righteous and holy.”

Our old way, before we believed in Christ is all in the past.  We should put it behind us like old clothes to be thrown away.  When we accepted Christ’s gift of salvation it was a one time decision, AND should be a daily, conscious commitment.

        We are not to be driven by desire and impulse; but put on the new nature, head in the right direction, and have the new way of thinking that the Holy Spirit gives.

     2 Corinthians 5:16-17 “So we have stopped evaluating others from a human point of view. At one time we thought of Christ merely from a human point of view. How differently we know him now! (17)This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone, a new life has begun!”

    Christians are brand new people on the inside. The Holy Spirit gives us new life, and we are not the same anymore.  We are not reformed, rehabilitated, or re-educated—we are re-created, new creations, living in union with Christ. (Colossians 2:6,7)

     Go forth my friend, in your new nature, share the good news of JESUS CHRIST, LORD & SAVIOR! Love you all.

In Christ’s Love and Grace
