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 your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
Ephesians 4:22-24 NIV
http://bible.com/111/eph.4.22-24.NIV
This is such an important chapter! It is loaded with practical instruction and important keys for newness in Christ Jesus. One of these is the concept of putting off the old and putting on the new.
It isn't good enough to just try to stop doing wrong, but that behavior must be replaced with right actions or you will not be successful.
Thank you Jesus for providing freedom and a new life!
