The Old must die

Hope that our Lord Jesus has kept you as you set your eyes on the pilgrimage. Once we are in Christ our old self must cease to control us. This state holds us captive of the sinful nature we were born in. thus becoming candidates of God Wrath. It bids us to the cord of the dark past of our fathers and also self.
Paul in the book of Ephesian 4: 21- 24 states Surely you heard of him and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus. 22You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; 23to be made new in the attitude of your minds; 24and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.

In verse 23 of the same he state "to be made new in the attitude of your minds" that our attitudes need to be change. then verse 24 "and to put on the new self". One thing we must realise is that Christ did it, deal done and sealed. It is up to you as an individual to make up a decision for the change. The mind changes then the rest follows.

Your victory in all areas of your life total dependant on you. The Bible says that you are more than conquerors in Christ Jesus.
