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.” - ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭22‬-‭24‬ ‭

The Bible has so much to say on the goodness of change and God’s presence with us in every step of the way. It may be hard, but we have a God who loves us and wants the best for us.

Ephesians 4:22-24 teaches us that the Christian life involves a radical transformation of our hearts and minds. It calls us to actively discard our old sinful habits and attitudes and embrace a new way of living that is in accordance with God's Word. This process requires intentional renewal of our minds and reliance on the Holy Spirit's transformative power. As we continually seek to put off the old self and put on the new self, we grow in righteousness and holiness, ultimately becoming more like Christ.

“Christlikeness is not produced by imitation, but by inhabitation.”
