Put On the New Man
Verse
"...and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge..." Colossians 3:10
Teaching
Christianity is not only about what you put off; it is also about what you put on. Many people resist sin but never actively wear Christlike character. Paul says the new man is renewed according to the image of God. This means your life is being restored to reflect Christ. Today, do not wait to feel patient before you practise patience. Do not wait to feel kind before you show kindness. Put on the new man by deliberate obedience.
Quote
The new man is not discovered by feelings; he is expressed by obedience.
Instruction
Write down one Christlike quality you need to put on today: mercy, kindness, humility, meekness, patience, forgiveness, or love. Practise it intentionally.
