New Life Gets New Clothes Devotional Day 2 || Putting Off the Old Self

𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥: Christianity isn't about improvement; it's about transformation. Paul doesn't suggest we manage our old behaviors—he says consider them dead. Sexual immorality, impurity, greed, anger, malice, lying—these aren't just bad habits to control. They're grave clothes to remove. You've died to that life. The power isn't in your willpower but in the reality of what Christ has already accomplished. When temptation whispers, remember: that's not who you are anymore. You don't belong to that old master. The Spirit of truth lives in you, convicting and guiding. Maturity means the gap between temptation and sin grows wider. You won't reach perfection on earth, but you can grow in holiness. Today, identify one "old self" behavior and consciously choose to put it off.
