MARCH 7~TO SHEW FORTH HIS PRAISES: I’VE BEEN MADE ANEW!

Colossians 3:9: “Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;”

Who I was yesterday does not mandate who I will be today if I have decided to repent and leave my sins behind.  When we are converted, we embark upon a daily journey to shed our sinful nature and SHOW THE WORLD that the Holy Ghost rules OUR LIVES.  This intentional removal of personal attitudes, thoughts, and behaviors that displease and misrepresent Christ SHOWS THE LORD that He is a priority in OUR LIVES.  As we yield to the chastening of the Spirit, the Lord SHOWS US ourselves and challenges us to change the direction of OUR LIVES.  Detaching ourselves from living lies and from our old ways brings glory to God and makes us new.
