Ephesians 4:20-24

April 30, 2006

4:20 But you did not learn about Christ like this, 4:21 if indeed you heard about him and were taught in him just as the truth is in Jesus. 4:22 You were taught with reference to your former life to lay aside the old man who is being corrupted in accordance with deceitful desires, 4:23 and to be renewed in the spirit of your mind, 4:24 and to put on the new man who has been created in God’s image–in righteousness and holiness that comes from truth.

Talk about hard sayings! All I have to do is to lay aside my old self, change my thoughts and become someone I am not. There is simply no way that I can do that. Once that fact has sunk in, I find myself with only one course, to confess my weakness to Christ and depend upon him to do what I cannot. It seems that it takes a long time to fully realize a life hidden with Christ in God. -sdg-
