Put on New Clothes


Instead of expressing every hint of rage, follow the Lord’s advice; walk at His pace step by step.

Colossians 3:7-10 says “You used to behave like them as you lived among them. But now you must also get rid of anger, wrath, malice, slander, obscene speech, and all such sins. Do not lie to one another, for you have stripped off the old nature with its practices and have clothed yourselves with the new nature, which is being renewed in full knowledge, consistent with the image of the one who created it."

People will notice that you are different, that your life stays aligned with Scripture.  When you put on the new clothing from Christ, your spirit is changed. It takes time and practice to break away from our old nature, however, with the Lord’s help we can accomplish the goal.

Pray to Jesus for help with flares of anger or any other sins, and He will lovingly assist you.
