Colossians 3v8 But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. 9 Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices 10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. 11 Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all.

Shed the old self and bare the new coverings of righteousness in likeness of God the Father through His son Jesus. I like that our new self is “being renewed in knowledge,” as it is an on going growth to become more and more like Christ. It doesn’t all happen at once but as we seek in prayer, rely on faith and the word our lives take shape of our creator. This journey of a lifetime is a mold for eternity.
