Devotions are based on Sunday's Sermon on December 29th
Day 3: Putting Off the Old, Putting On the New Reading: Colossians 3:5-10
Devotional: The Christian life involves a continuous process of transformation - putting off our old nature and putting on the new self, created in Christ's image. This isn't about mere behavior modification, but a deep, inner renewal powered by the Holy Spirit.
Paul's list of things to "put to death" might seem daunting, but remember - this is a collaborative work between you and God. You're not struggling alone against sin; Christ's power is at work within you.
Reflect on areas where you still see the "old self" manifesting in your life. Instead of being discouraged, bring these to God in prayer. Ask Him to continue His transforming work in you. Then, consider one practical step you can take today to "put on" a Christ-like characteristic - perhaps extending forgiveness, showing compassion, or speaking words of encouragement.
