Put Off the Old Man and Put on the New

Topic of discussion is "Put Off the Old Man and Put On the New" Ephesians 4:17-25; Romans 12:1-3, Luke 22:32

It's not enough just to know the Word of God in your head, it must be applied to your heart. Many of us can quote the Word or embrace the principles, but are we allowing the process of the Cross to be applied to our lives on a daily basis where we put away those sinful acts, lustful desires and works of the flesh. Before Salvation our minds were corrupt and devoid of the Truth. Even after Salvation we must continue to yield our minds over to the Will of God. There are many of us in the body of Christ who can't progress in the things of God due to bondage to lying, lust, sinful acts in every capacity. This is due to not submitting to the Way of the Cross, which will give the Holy Spirit the opportunity to put to death those sinful acts that hinder us in this Christian race.

The Holy Spirit will bring about this character change only as we exhibit faith in the Cross of Christ on a daily basis.(Romans 8:1-2). Our part is to yield or present ourselves as vessels in allowing the Holy Spirit to eliminate self in order to promote the character of Christ. He must increase as I decrease. It doesn't mean that I cease to exist but that my thoughts and perceptions match that of the Bible or Godhead. This is the process of growth which most of us run from in order to do our will/agendas.
