"Put On..."

“Put On…”

Blessings folk!

We are to be dead to the flesh.
Dead to self.

But, wait!
There is more!
Happy

We are to “put on” something.

Read…

Col 3:9-11

Do not lie to one another, since you laid aside the old self with its evil practices,
and have put on the new self who is being renewed to a true knowledge according to the image of the One who created him—
a renewal in which there is no distinction between Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave and freeman, but Christ is all, and in all.


We are not to lie to one another.
This is because we have laid aside the old self, the old self with evil practices.

We have now put on the new self!
The new self that is being renewed.
Renewed to a true knowledge according to the image of the One who created him.
We are being renewed in the image of Christ.

This renewal is for all.
No distinctions which man creates…national, societal, “racial” (there is no such thing as “race&rdquoWinking.

Christ is all.
He is in all who believe.

The Spirit led Paul to write a similar Word to the Body in Ephesus…

Eph 4:20-25

But you did not learn Christ in this way,
if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught in Him, just as truth is in Jesus,
that, in reference to your former manner of life, you lay aside the old self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit,
and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind,
and put on the new self, which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth.
Therefore, laying aside falsehood, SPEAK TRUTH EACH ONE of you WITH HIS NEIGHBOR, for we are members of one another.

The old self: corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit
The new self: likeness of God, created in righteousness and holiness of truth

Lay aside falsehood.
Speak the truth.
