YOUR NEW SELF You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self…and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. **Ephesians 4:22, 24 ********** When you came into a right relationship with God, He gave you a new “self”—a new you. It can take years, even a lifetime, to fully grasp that concept. If I have a new self, you may wonder, why am I plagued by the same old temptations? Why don’t I feel transformed? If you are among those struggling to live as a new creation in Christ, ask God to show you what it is that prevents you from living victoriously. While you’re at it, ask Him to renew your mind, erasing any doubt that His promises are true, that they’re meant for you, and that they will result in transforming you into the person He intended you to be from the very beginning. Your new self is not some person you have to work the rest of your life to become, striving for perfection and making yourself miserable in the process. Your new self is the person who will emerge once you begin living in closeness to Him. Trust God to transform you into His image—and that begins with your next breath.
