and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.

Ephesians 4:24

Put off the old and put on the new. Putting off the greed and putting on the full gear of Christ, filled with God—this is described as ‘creation’ in v. 24. Imagining that the first creation must have been similar, I have confidence that I have that one thing the first man lacked and that I will never fall from grace because of the work of the Holy Spirit now. This is the truth that is in Christ and according to which I have been taught. Being given a new me to wear is one thing, but never having to change back into the old me is quite another. Let me live as one who has the plus alpha today!

  • What does it mean to you that God created you in light of v. 24?

  • How is having confidence in the Holy Spirit that he will not let you fall different from being conceited?

  • How would that confidence translate into your lifestyle and attitude?
