PUT OFF, PUT ON

PUT OFF, PUT ON

Colossians 3:1-10,12-17

If Ye Then Be Risen With Christ, Seek Those Things Which Are Above, Where Christ Sitteth On The Right Hand Of God. Set Your Affection On Things Above, Not On Things On The Earth. For Ye Are Dead, And Your Life Is Hid With Christ In God. When Christ, Who Is Our Life, Shall Appear, Then Shall Ye Also Appear With Him In Glory. Mortify Therefore Your Members Which Are Upon The Earth; Fornication, Uncleanness, Inordinate Affection, Evil Concupiscence, And Covetousness, Which Is Idolatry: For Which Things' Sake The Wrath Of God Cometh On The Children Of Disobedience: In The Which Ye Also Walked Some Time, When Ye Lived In Them. But Now Ye Also PUT OFF All These; Anger, Wrath, Malice, Blasphemy, Filthy Communication Out Of Your Mouth. Lie Not One To Another, Seeing That Ye Have PUT OFF The Old Man With His Deeds; And Have PUT ON The New Man, Which Is Renewed In Knowledge After The Image Of Him That Created Him: 

[12] PUT ON Therefore, As The Elect Of God, Holy And Beloved, Bowels Of Mercies, Kindness, Humbleness Of Mind, Meekness, Longsuffering; Forbearing One Another, And Forgiving One Another, If Any Man Have A Quarrel Against Any: Even As Christ Forgave You, So Also Do Ye. And Above All These Things Put On Charity, Which Is The Bond Of Perfectness. And Let The Peace Of God Rule In Your Hearts, To The Which Also Ye Are Called In One Body; And Be Ye Thankful. Let The Word Of Christ Dwell In You Richly In All Wisdom; Teaching And Admonishing One Another In Psalms And Hymns And Spiritual Songs, Singing With Grace In Your Hearts To The Lord. And Whatsoever Ye Do In Word Or Deed, Do All In The Name Of The Lord Jesus, Giving Thanks To God And The Father By Him.

Romans 12:1-2 

I Beseech You Therefore, Brethren, By The Mercies Of God, That Ye Present Your Bodies A Living Sacrifice, Holy, Acceptable Unto God, Which Is Your Reasonable Service. And Be Not Conformed To This World: But Be Ye Transformed By The Renewing Of Your Mind, That Ye May Prove What Is That Good, And Acceptable, And Perfect, Will Of God.

Ephesians 4:22-24 

That Ye Put Off Concerning The Former Conversation The Old Man, Which Is Corrupt According To The Deceitful Lusts; And Be Renewed In The Spirit Of Your Mind;  And That Ye Put On The New Man, Which After God Is Created In Righteousness And True Holiness.

2 Corinthians 5:17 

Therefore If Any Man Be In Christ, He Is A New Creature: Old Things Are Passed Away; Behold, All Things Are Become New.

If you are the same after Salvation as you were before, you might want to check if you are truly Saved. The Lord changes everything.  He is conforming us into The Image Of His Son Jesus Christ. If you think the same and act the same after Salvation you are not being conformed by The Holy Spirit. Every one of us is being changed every day.  

Romans 8:29 

For Whom He Did Foreknow, He Also Did Predestinate TO BE CONFORMED TO THE IMAGE OF HIS SON, That He Might Be The Firstborn Among Many Brethren.
