Ephesians 4 Our new self in Christ

But that is not the way you learned Christ!— assuming that you have heard about him and were taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus, to put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.
(Ephesians 4:20-24 ESV)

What does it look like to live in the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness. Jesus set the greatest example. Some practical applications are:

Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of another. Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and give no opportunity to the devil. Let the thief no longer steal, but rather let him labor, doing honest work with his own hands, so that he may have something to share with anyone in need. Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.
(Ephesians 4:25-32 ESV)

God I can only do these things by your power! But it also takes effort and intentionality on my part. God I pray you would put a new passion and am desire to put on your likeness in Christ and by the Spirit to love others in truth and love. Not in fear and being pushovers but also speaking the truth in love.

God you say get angry but do not sin. Lord you know me better than I know myself. I wish I didn't get angry or have negative emotions but I have emotions. You made me that way God so my emotions must be good and helpful. They may be difficult also but that grows my character. I pray God you would teach me to be aware of and process my emotions in healthy ways that I would feel all my emotions and not sin.
Amen
