Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. Because of these, the wrath of God is coming. You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices.” Colossians 3:5-9 NIV
Wow! What a list of unrighteous characteristics we were subject to: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires, greed, anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language. Here are 10 characteristics which are very unbecoming of a Christian. We once walked in these ways, in our old self. How many of these items were once a part of your life?
You must rid yourself of all these traits, and any other unrighteous traits. You must truly put them to death in your life. All of these characteristics of the unrighteous will bring with it the wrath of God. Nothing which is unrighteous can stand in the sight of God. We, of our own accord cannot rid ourselves of these unrighteous acts. We need the indwelling Spirit of God to direct and guide us. We need the saving grace of Jesus Christ, who shed His innocent blood at Calvary, on our behalf. This is an eternal sacrifice. No further sacrifice is required. But, we must follow in the footsteps of our Master, recognizing Him as our Savior, realizing that we cannot save ourselves. Jesus has saved us.
In our new lives, we cannot lie to one another. Out of our mouths must come words of truth. The truth that shall come forth from us must be the Good News about Jesus Christ. The truth contained therein has power which cannot be surpassed. The Lord waits, with a loving heart, and tender, waiting arms to embrace those who come to Him. He cherishes all lost souls who turn to Him.
