Put on the New Self
The Christian life is not primarily about putting off old vices, it is about putting on the new self, created after the likeness of Christ.

To be a mature Christian means to be steady at the wheel and to have one aim at one person – Jesus Christ.
A tree will only grow to the extent that the roots deepen; the same is true for the Christian life. Let the gospel take root in Your life and you will begin to grasp the unfathomable love of God in Christ Jesus for you.
Christian, take heart. Nothing comes to you but by the hand of God. The hardship you experience isn’t random, it serves a purpose.
Before Christ and after Christ; that is the essence of the Christian life; that is the shape of the gospel. Jesus is the turning point, He is the hero of your story.
God has taken your life, which was dead in sin, and He has so bound you to the Lord Jesus Christ, that now what’s true about Jesus is also true about you. You have been raised with Christ to new life and seated with Him in the heavenly places.
Every fear, worry and uncertain moments in our lives are shaped by an unconscious false narrative about God. Expose these false narratives and displace them with the truth of Jesus.
The Lord Jesus Christ rules and reigns over and above all; that is where your spiritual blessing resides. So, see everything in your life as service and praise to Him.
If you are in Christ, you are saved and the kingdom is yours. You can say with the apostle Paul, “He will bring me safely into his heavenly kingdom”.
Believer, live with an eternal perspective. Christ is what you’ve been longing for. When you stumble in the marathon, He will be your strength and your nourishment. He is faithful and He will surely see you through.
