PUT ON THE NEW YOU
Ephesians 4:22–24
Paul reminds us that following Jesus means more than simply changing what we do, it means allowing God to change who we are becoming.
He tells us to put off our old self, to be renewed in the spirit of our minds, and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
Sometimes we keep trying to fix the old us when God is calling us to become something new.
The old way says, “This is just who I am.”
God says, “Let Me make you new.”
The old way says, “I can’t change.”
God says, “Let Me renew your mind.”
The old way keeps looking backward.
But the new life in Christ looks forward with hope.
Today, ask God to help you lay down the attitudes, habits, thoughts, and patterns that belong to the old life. Then ask Him to renew your mind and help you walk in the new person He is creating you to be.
You don’t have to remain who you used to be. In Christ, God is making you new.
“Lord, help me put off the old ways that no longer belong in my life. Renew my mind and change my heart. Teach me to walk each day in the new life You have given me through Christ. Help me become more like You in everything I say, think, and do. In Jesus’ name, amen.”
