Ephesians 4:22–24 (ESV) — “to put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.”We all know what it’s like to keep something old long after it has lost its purpose—an expired ID, worn-out shoes, a shirt we should have thrown away years ago. Sometimes we hold on simply because we’re used to it. But following Jesus means learning to let go of what no longer fits the new life He gave us.Paul reminds us that as believers, we don’t live the way we used to. We no longer walk as the world walks—lost, hardened, and chasing empty things. Instead, we are called to “put off” the old self, “be renewed” in our minds, and “put on” the new self that reflects the character of Christ.This change happens once and continues every day. When we came to Jesus, we left our old life behind—but each day, we must keep choosing to live His way with the Spirit’s help. Paul shows us how this looks in real life: stop lying and tell the truth, control your anger instead of exploding, work honestly so you can share with others, use your words to build people up instead of tearing them down, show kindness instead of bitterness, and forgive others just as God forgave you in Christ.Holiness isn’t about trying harder—it’s about belonging to Jesus. Because we belong to Him, we no longer live the way we used to. The Spirit softens what was once hard, renews what was once dark, and strengthens what was once weak. He makes us new from the inside out.Where do you see traces of the “old self” showing up in your life—your thoughts, reactions, habits, or words?Ask God to help you remove what no longer belongs, and to fill those places with His truth, His love, and His character.Prayer:Father, thank You for making me new in Christ. Help me put off my old ways and choose Your ways each day. Renew my mind, purify my heart, and shape my words and actions so they reflect Jesus. Fill me with Your Spirit and make me more like You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
