Scripture: “Put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.” – Ephesians 4:22-24
Christian men are called to a life of constant improvement, leaving behind our old selves and embracing the new.
This is not merely a one-time act, but a daily decision to put off our old habits and mindsets and to put on the new, reflecting the image of God in true righteousness and holiness.
The old self, which we are called to put off, refers to our former way of life, corrupted by deceitful desires. These desires can lead us astray, causing us to act in ways that do not align with God’s will.
As men of God, we must recognize and confront these desires, turning away from temptation and towards the path of righteousness. Putting on the new self, created in the likeness of God, means allowing the Holy Spirit to transform our minds and hearts, leading us to live more like Jesus.
This process of renewal begins with a commitment to constant improvement, seeking God’s guidance and direction in every aspect of our lives.
As we strive for constant improvement, remember that this is not a solo endeavor. We are called to support and encourage one another, building each other up in love and accountability. Let us be examples of godly men, walking in the light and reflecting the love and grace of our heavenly Father.
**One practical challenge to KEEP GETTING BETTER: Keep AT LEAST one day on the Q calendar at all times. Commit to leading men in the gloom.**
In conclusion, let us heed the call to put off the old self and put on the new, embracing a life of constant improvement. Let us seek God’s guidance and support one another in this sacred journey, as we grow more like Jesus and reflect His image in our daily lives.
