Scripture Verse Day 002

haha! I think it's better to call this Scripture Verse than Memory Verse. Some of the verse are real long. Dun think can memorise everything. But if you can, i still encourage you to memorise.

Today's Verse:

You were taught, with regard to your former way of life,

to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its

deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of our

minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God

in true righteousness and holiness.

Ephesians 4:22-24

Yes! Unless the old is removed, the new cannot be received. Our old self has been tainted, corrupted, destroyed by our own evil desires. No matter how hard we try to change by our own effort, it is pointless and in vain. But this does not mean that we are hopeless and doom for sure. We do have hope. The only way to put away our past behind is to accept Jesus becoz He is the truth, the way and the life. (John 14:6) As we accept Him, we have to also accept and learn His attitudes, His teachings. It simply means transforming our old self into the likeness of Jesus. And this verse specifically mention the changing of our attitude in our mind. It means to change our way of thinking. Not to think like the world but to think of what is right and holy in God's eyes. It may sound tough and impossible but it's not. There's a chinese saying, "If there's perseverance, a rod can be filed into a needle." So have faith and dun give up.
