Most people are at least a little bit concerned about their appearance. Some people are REALLY concerned about their appearance. I personally try to take care of how I look. I shower every day, I shave and trim my hair, I wear clean clothes, I even go to the gym (occasionally). But just taking care of the outside misses the most important part of us.
God says that we are made in Him image. That truth actually has little (maybe nothing) to do with how we look. It's all about the inner us - our thoughts, feelings, and beliefs - and how we live our lives.
These verses are calling us to put off the "old self" which was twisted by sin and embrace the "new self" we have been given by Jesus. Paul says to tune our minds and hearts to God's frequency in heaven so that the inner us and our actions will look more and more like God.
Here's something to consider: spiritual maturity is not measured by how much you know, but by how much you love.
- How can a person tune their heart and mind to God's frequency?
- Make it your prayer to put away your "old self" and put on your "new self" in Christ.
