Put Off, Put On
Today's Scripture
…that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind.
Ephesians 4:22–23, NKJV
Today's Word
When you gave your life to Christ and were born again, the Scripture says, “You became a new creation. The old has passed away.” However, that doesn’t mean that you’ll never have any more carnal desires or never want to be jealous, rude, or complain. No, the old man may have died, but sometimes he’ll resurrect. Your old nature will rise from the dead. Even though you’re a new creation, you have to put off the old. Every day that old man is trying to get back up and run your life. Peter was a faithful, strong, committed disciple who took up his sword when Jesus was arrested, but a few hours later he denied he knew Jesus. As with Peter, we all have these two people inside, the old man and the new man. That’s why we have to put off the old man, put off the pride, the bitterness, the compromise, the temper, and put on the new man. The more you put the old man off, the weaker and weaker he gets.
Prayer For Today
“Father, thank You that I am a new creation in Christ Jesus and that the old has passed away. Thank You that I can put off anything of the old man today and start with a fresh new attitude. I’m going to be my best and make the most of this day. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
