Put Off Your Old Self?

Put Off Your Old Self?

Do you need to wake up every day and try to put off your old self? Put off who you were? Or has that already been done?

Ephesians 4 says, “you have heard Him and have been taught in Him…[to] lay aside the old self… and [to] put on the new self.” Here, the verbs are “neutral” or timeless (called infinitives), so you read the context to discover what time they refer to. Clearly, Paul is saying that in first hearing the Gospel they “have heard” and “have been taught” (past tense) to put off the old self and to put on the new self. And that’s exactly what they did through the born-again experience! This is why we see the same idea in past tense in Colossians 3: “you laid aside the old self” and “have put on the new self.”

So, if you don’t have to get busy putting off the old self (done!) and putting on the new self (done!), then what is your role every day? Find out in this episode!

Why you struggle

Why you struggle

John 1:29 says that Jesus is the Lamb of God who takes away sin. Yet we still struggle with sin, so what did John mean?This was Courtney’s question when she called in to the radio program. In my response to Courtney, I also introduce some very important distinctions:What is “the flesh”?What’s up with the popular term “sinful nature”?Why is understanding this such a big deal?If you want to better comprehend your battle with sinful thoughts, this could be a HUGE help!

How can we be alert?

How can we be alert?

Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. (1 Peter 5:8)A recent caller to the radio program, Taylor, asked how the enemy functions in attacking Christians.The evil one cannot touch us, but we’re told in Ephesians 6 to put on the full armor of God. It’s clear that God wants us to understand the types of attacks we’re going to need to endure.In this short episode, I address two tactics the enemy uses in our lives and three pieces of armor for protection. We have an incredible defense against the arrows coming at us!
