Recommended Reading: Colossians 3:1-11 (nkjv)
Not Carnality but Christ
3 If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. 2 Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.
5 Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. 6 Because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience, 7 in which you yourselves once walked when you lived in them.
8 But now you yourselves are to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth. 9 Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds, 10 and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him,

David Jeremiah Daily Devotional for Today 27th August 2024
The Bible tells us to “put off the old man.” What does that mean? It doesn’t mean tossing grandpa out the door. It means we’re to turn away from the flawed traits we had before coming to Christ and from the corrupt nature we inherited from Adam.
Perhaps you’ve chosen to follow Christ, but you know there are some things you must toss out, some habits you must break, and some sins you must confess. You’re not alone. Paul was speaking to the Colossians and to all of us when he said, “Put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth. Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds, and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him” (Colossians 3:8-10).
You have a new nature—a Christly calling. If there’s an area of residual sin in your life today, ask God to help you toss it out of your life. You can do it in the power of Christ!
God’s ultimate goal for us…is that we be truly conformed to the likeness of His Son in our person as well as in our standing.
