Colossians 3:7-8 (NET) You also lived your lives in this way at one time, when you used to live among them. But now, put off all such things as anger, rage, malice, slander, abusive language from your mouth.
There was a time in my life that I realized it was very difficult for me to forgive those who offended me. Even though I was already a believer baptized in the Holy Spirit, I didn’t realize that unforgiveness and malice were so dangerous until I realized they were hindering my fruitfulness in God’s kingdom.
The sins mentioned above are those that can be in the life of a believer and he may not take them seriously. Unlike the sins mentioned in Col 3:5, these ones do not feel as defiling as them but they defile the spirit, thus hindering fellowship with God and spiritual growth. We are to put them off because they are not consistent with our new divine nature.
As you go into today, examine yourself under the light of God’s word. Ask the Lord to help you put off anything that is not in His nature.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, please help me put off everything in me that does not please you, In Jesus’ name. Amen.
