"Your Old Adam Self"

Colossians 3:5-11

5 Live as one who has died to every form of sexual sin and impurity. Live as one who has died to the desires for forbidden things, including the desire for wealth, which is the essence of idol worship.

6 When you live in these vices you ignite the anger of God against these acts of disobedience.

7–8 That’s how you once behaved, characterized by your evil deeds. But now it’s time to eliminate them from your lives once and for all—anger, fits of rage, all forms of hatred, cursing, filthy speech,

9 and lying. Lay aside your old Adam-self with its masquerade and disguise.

10 For you have acquired new creation life which is continually being renewed into the likeness of the One who created you; giving you the full revelation of God.

11 In this new creation life, your nationality makes no difference, nor your ethnicity, education, nor economic status—they matter nothing. For it is Christ that means everything as he lives in every one of us!

Take off the old life. Live in the renewal of the new life through Christ!

When we accept Christ as our Lord and savior, we live a new life. A life that isn’t attracted to fleshy desires or temptation.

A life built on the foundation of the Lord.

Temptation and fleshy desires don’t go away, but when our eyes are fixed on Jesus, we can always expect an escape from those desires.

As you walk with Christ daily, you’ll start to see things change in your life. We must die from our old self and our old ways.

Let go of your sinful nature and pick up your cross!

Be the person God created you to be. Invite him in your heart and your life. He wants a relationship with you!

God is LOVE!
