Colossians 3:12-3:18

Practicing the New You

Today, we?re going to study an important part of scripture, one that deals with the very essence of what we become when we are born again, as believers in Jesus Christ. There are many Christians who look back on their habits and behavior before they were saved and wonder what they could possibly have been thinking! The old person and the new person...it?s often quite a difference. And it?s supposed to be.

  1. Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
  2. Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
  3. And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
  4. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
  5. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
  6. And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
  7. Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.
