The Old Man

August 27, 2024

Put off the old man with his deeds.
Colossians 3:9

 Recommended Reading: Colossians 3:1-11

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.
