I was spending a little morning Bible reading in The Passion Translation. TPT is always so rich and vivid. I love having this version and my NASB to compare how they each read.
As I was reading, I was being reminded that Ephesians provides good news and instruction to grow in your identity in Christ. Don’t miss it. They’re not suggestions. They are instructions straight from the Lord. We all miss the mark, but let’s begin to miss it less on purpose and direct our flesh to honor the LORD. 🔥💙🔥
“For God has re-created you over again in His perfect righteousness, and you now belong to Him in the realm of true holiness.”
Ephesians 4:24 TPT
You are now:
• New in quality
• New in nature
• Different from what existed before
• Fresh, renewed, transformed
• Of a kind not previously seen

“But don’t let the passion of your emotions lead you to sin! Don’t let anger control you or be fuel for revenge, not for even a day.
Don’t give the slanderous accuser, the devil, an opportunity to manipulate you!
If any one of you has stolen from someone else, never do it again. Instead, be industrious, earning an honest living, and then you’ll have enough to bless those in need.
And never let ugly or hateful words come from your mouth, but instead let your words become beautiful gifts that encourage others; do this by speaking words of grace to help them.
The Holy Spirit of God has sealed you in Jesus Christ until you experience your full salvation. So never grieve the Spirit of God or take for granted His holy influence in your life.
Lay aside bitter words, temper tantrums, revenge, profanity, and insults.
But instead be kind and affectionate toward one another.
Has God graciously forgiven you?
Then graciously forgive one another in the depths of Christ’s love.”
Ephesians 4:26-32 TPT
