In Colossians 3:5-11, Paul reminds us to conduct ourselves in a manner worthy of the salvation that Christ has given us. When we consciously and continually choose sin instead of God, we become less and less human. Because we are alive in Christ, we must seek to be more like Him. Because we died with Christ, we cannot wear the clothes of the new creation if we are still wearing the clothes of the past. God wants to renew us and make us into the image of his son, Jesus!
