*Ephesians 4:20-24 (KJV);* But ye have not so learned Christ; If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
*OF THE SPIRITUAL APPROACH II*
As believers in Christ, it is must mandatory to renew your mind to the Word, and put on the new man in Christ after the knowledge of the truth.
The Bible reveals that your born again spirit, the new man was created after God in righteousness and true holiness. You need to recognize and acknowledge your true self in God’s mirror , you are righteous and holy!
At times you might think , you are getting holier, but in reality, you’re just referring to your actions in the physical realm. The degree of holiness you live outwardly may vary , but the nature of your born spirit is righteousness and true holiness.
In John 4:24 speaks of how God is a Spirit and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and truth. Your spirit is the part of you that completely changed. Old things passed away. All things became new. You cannot approach God unless you come to Him through the righteousness and true holiness of who you are in the spirit.
You are not worthy to come into presence based on the righteousness and holiness of your thoughts and actions. Even at your best, you will still fall short of doing everything you should.
Even when you’ve been seeking the Lord wholeheartedly, you still have negative and impure thoughts in your mind.
No matter how hard you try, you will never measure up to God’s perfection through your own efforts in the physical, emotional and mental realms.
Hallelujah!
