Do You Need New Glasses?
Put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds. —Colossians 3:8–9
The Bible tells us to put off once and for all the old man we used to be. Consider him dead and gone, crucified with Christ. Then we are not only to put him off, but his deeds also. Notice the list of his deeds—anger, wrath, bad talk, lying—all are deeds, or actions, of the old man, the dead man. Anger is not part of you. Lying is not part of you; filthy communication is not part of who you are. These things are now foreign to you. You are the new man, the righteous man, the holy man. No longer identify or associate in your thought life with the sins of the old sinner. How do you do this? By seeing! See your old man dying on the cross. See him dead and buried! See yourself as a new creation, a spiritual creation, free from sin, free from anger, free from sickness and disease and the curse. See yourself made alive with Christ. See yourself raised and seated in heavenly places. No longer see yourself as you were; do not associate with the old life in thought or in speech. Cast down thoughts and replace them with your new identity in Christ. What you see is what you’ll have!
