You be THE NEW You: Colossians 3:12-17
If you are a Christian you have been made new! The Bible says you have a new heart, have been regenerated, have the Spirit within you—you have a new identity in Christ. But, just as we live in the already-not-yet kingdom, our experience in the Christian life is already-not-yet. We are free from the condemning power of sin, but not yet free from its presence. Nevertheless, just like clothes, we need to take off the old and put on the new. We need to put on the new way of life that is consistent with our new creation heart. As we do this individually and as a church community we will be exemplary doing everything in the name of Jesus to his glory!
This morning we’ll see that the new creation church community should exemplify:
1. Others-centered character
2. Others-centered peace-making
3. Word-centered teaching and exhortation
4. Christ-centered in everything
* For Spiritual Conversations – Of which of these many spiritual virtues do you need to ask the Lord to help you “put on?” Why do you think you struggle in this area? What are examples of people you’ve seen live this out really well? How can you experience more deeply the gospel truth that Jesus put on your sinful garments to pay the penalty of sin for you, so that you could put on character qualities that reflect his righteousness?
