V. 21 – “Throw off your old sinful nature…your former way of life.” Quite descriptive, huh? V. 23 – “Renew your thoughts and attitudes” as a Christian. V. 25 – “Watch out for the temptation to be dishonest.” There are many, aren’t there? V. 26 – “Watch out for the danger of anger.” Oh yes. What a danger! Are there some definite sins in your life that you need to deal with NOW? V. 30 – What a fine verse to prompt us to live the good life of Christian faith! True story: A pastor was preaching his sermon, and as he did so, he leaned over the pulpit and pointing right at one of the younger men in the congregation, he said: “YOU belong to God!” (Surely that applied to everyone attending.) But it was so meaningful to that young man that he went home, knelt by his bed, and gave his life to God. Years later he was still telling that story and urging others to realize that they, too, belong to God. So do YOU. So do we all! Because that is true, what are we going to do about it? Live for God! And help others to do so too. AMEN!
