September 5, 2023:  Put Off The Old Man

9/5/2023

0 Comments

 
"you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth. Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator." (Colossians 3:8–10, ESV)

When the new man moves in, the old man must move out. When you invite Jesus into your life, everything carnal must be removed. It has to go! Put off the old self with its practices and put on the new self by being renewed in the knowledge of Christ.
    
The word 'put off' comes from a compound Greek word ‘apotithimi’.  ‘Apo’ meaning away and ‘tithimi’ meaning to place or lay something down. When you put the two words together, it means: To lay something down and push it far away beyond your reach. If you are on a diet and someone hands you cake, you set it down and push it far away from you so you cannot reach it. Paul is telling us, as well as the Colossians, to set down these unholy attitudes and sin and push them far away to be out of our reach.
    
He is also telling us to put on the new self! We have a brand new identity in Christ! And we are called to put on Christ so that our lives now look like His. When people see us, they are to see Christ in us.

What do you need to 'put off?'
