“You used to do these things when your life was still part of this world. But now is the time to get rid of anger, rage, malicious behavior, slander, and dirty language. Don’t lie to each other, for you have stripped off your old sinful nature and all its wicked deeds. Put on your new nature and be renewed as you learn to know your Creator and become like Him.” Colossians 3:7-10 NLT

The Scripture for today is Colossians 3:7-10. I used the NLT version because I like the simplicity of it. I do have and use other study Bibles.

Change is a continual process as we consistently renew our mind to God’s way of doing things. It is necessary to keep in mind it doesn’t change overnight. However, things won’t change at all when you do nothing.

This may seem repetitive but the question is: Are you practicing the steps indicated above? God’s word is still applicable today. With all the chaos in our culture today, it seems we are missing these basics of Scripture. Some do not care, but for those who do, God’s word is still clear on what it takes to live a holy life to glorify Him.

The steps here are not exclusive to our spiritual walk but also to our business and personal relationships. I believe that God’s word applies to the entire spectrum of our lives. God knew we couldn’t do it on our own. He sent His Son Jesus and Jesus provided the Holy Spirit.

Be blessed.
