Have You Put On The New Man?

 

Today's verse is Ephesians 4:24

And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

    It has been asked, “Can a man change?” and though in scripture we see the necessity that a man must change, we find that no man can change himself, even though some make a valiant effort, and appear to others as having changed, but when they appear before God, they find that all of their righteousness is as filthy rags. Thus, we must find this new man, which is spoken of here, which only can be found by obeying the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. For only by recognizing that we deserve God’s wrath, and humbling ourselves, and accepting that Jesus Christ, God’s Only Begotten Son, took that wrath upon himself, that we that come to him confessing that he is Lord, believing that God hath raised him from the dead can we put on this new man, which God creates in righteousness and true holiness in that moment. And once we have been born anew, daily and moment by moment, we must constantly surrender, reckoning ourselves indeed dead to sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

To God be the Glory
