Oct 29 ~ THE NEW LIFE SHOULD NEVER GET OLD:  THE CHRISTIAN LIFE IS A CHANGED LIFE

Colossians 3:8 “But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.”

In the prior verses of this text, Paul urges believers to “put to death” sins and ungodly behaviors such as wrath (the act of revenge), malice (the desire to harm or hope for harm of another person), slander (putting down other people or speaking lies, harsh speech, or gossip against others), and obscene talk (speech that is vulgar and intended to be offensive).  If we’re not careful, the root of these behaviors can start with unchecked anger.  God clearly states that vengeance is His, and we must be careful to allow Him to handle His business.  Our business is to yield to HIM and to recognize that in order to walk as joint-heirs with Christ, you can no longer live the same lifestyle prior to Christ. Be free of past weights and sin, because the Christian life is truly a changed life!
