Out With The Old, In With The New

Ephesians 4:22-24  “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.”

What a great verse this is to fall back on when things aren’t going the way we think they should.  God has plans for each of us and in those moments of weakness that ultimately end up with us realizing how the outcome would’ve been different if we’d just trusted in God’s blessings.  Obviously sin is something that can be hard to shake loose and we tend to get caught in the trap of sin but God has given us the tools we need. This verse is a prime example because Paul tells us how to approach sin, by putting it off and putting something that’s God approved in it’s place, and scripture is here to help us to be faithful. By doing this, we recognize that was our old way of life and the new faith we have in God is where the path to righteousness lies. When will it be time for you to begin utilizing the tools that God has given you?
