The New Self





Ephesians 4:20-24 (ESV)

20 But that is not the way you learned Christ!— 21 assuming that you have heard about him and were taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus, 22 to put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, 23 and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, 24 and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.


It falls to us to be active in putting off the old man and renewing our minds with the leading of the Holy Spirit. Our minds are part of our spirits that allow us to know the Lord. Another part of our spirits communes with the Holy Spirit in a language beyond words. We are to pursue the Lord with all that we are, for we seek to be made in His image.
