Hello
Everyone,
Also
in our Life in Christ Paul tells us WE PUT ON THE NEW LIFE.
Ephesians 4:23 to be made new in the attitude of your minds; 24 and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. 25 Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to his neighbor, for we are all members of one body.
Put on the new self. Put on your newer and better self. What’s this? Your better self in Christ we are better in Christ than we are without Him.
I think there are at least two good ways for us to put on the new life, created to be like Christ. One way is by imitating others.
I Corinthians 11:1 “Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.” The apostle Paul was saying, “Imitate me or follow me in the ways that I follow or imitate Christ.” “Follow my best example.”
There are so very many godly people in this world whom we need to follow or imitate in order to put our new self in Christ.
And then the other way and the best way is to look to Christ.

Hebrews 12:1-2 “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith....”
And what will happen if we fix our eyes on Jesus? Chances are we will eventually become more like Him. We will put on the new self created to be like Jesus.
Acts 4:13 “When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus.”
