So get rid of your old self, which made you live as you used to—the old self that was being destroyed by its deceitful desires. 23 Your hearts and minds must be made completely new, 24 and you must put on the new self, which is created in God's likeness and reveals itself in the true life that is upright and holy. --- Ephesians 4:22-24 Our old way of life before we believed in Christ is completely in the past. We should put it behind us like old clothes to be thrown away. When we decide to accept Christ’s gift of salvation (2:8-10), it is both a one time decision, as well as a daily conscious commitment. We are not to be driven by desire and impulse. We must put on the new nature, head in the new direction, and have the new way of thinking that the Holy Spirit gives. --- Life Application Study Bible notes PRAYER Dear Lord, Enable me to shed my old ways and be truly transformed by putting on my new self. Help me put off all my former way of life corrupted by the desires of my flesh. Renew my mind so that the fruit of Holy Spirit can manifest in my new life. Help me make the right choices in my life and seek for true righteousness and holiness. In Jesus’ name, Amen
