In today’s daily word of God we learn about what it means to live out your new life in Christ Jesus. When we become new believers in Christ, we become born again and our old self dies. The things we use to do and say that were a part of our old life should be put away.
Jesus will give you the strength to put everything out of your life that is not like Him. I hear people often say “After I clean my life up, then I will give my life over to Christ” but without the saving grace of Christ, you won’t be able to save yourself. When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, our new life is now kept with Christ in God and this gives us the power to turn away from sin and resist evil.
Your New Life In Christ
You were raised from death with Christ.
So live for what is in heaven, where Christ is sitting at the right hand of God.
Think only about what is up there, not what is here on earth.
Your old self has died, and your new life is kept with Christ in God.
Yes, Christ is now your life, and when he comes again, you will share in his glory.
So put everything evil out of your life: sexual sin, doing anything immoral, letting sinful thoughts control you, and wanting things that are wrong.
And don’t keep wanting more and more for yourself, which is the same as worshiping a false god.
God will show his anger against those who don’t obey him, because they do these evil things.
You also did these things in the past, when you lived like them.
But now put these things out of your life: anger, losing your temper, doing or saying things to hurt others, and saying shameful things.
Don’t lie to each other. You have taken off those old clothes—the person you once were and the bad things you did then.
Now you are wearing a new life, a life that is new every day. You are growing in your understanding of the one who made you. You are becoming more and more like him.
In this new life it doesn’t matter if you are a Greek or a Jew, circumcised or not. It doesn’t matter if you speak a different language or even if you are a Scythian. It doesn’t matter if you are a slave or free. Christ is all that matters, and he is in all of you.
