Put on your new nature, and be renewed as you learn to know your Creator and become like him. – Colossians 3:10(NLT)
BE RENEWED
A poem and essay by ILMA
When we choose to commit to a new life
We ought to put on our new nature in Christ
When you allow your mind to dwell on his truth
You will be transformed and God’s wisdom will take root.
Guard your heart and you’ll discern his character
He wants you to be a faithful believer
As you are changed into the new person
You will know more about your Creator.

The year has just begun. Many people try to make resolutions for the coming year. I used to do that myself until I learned the truth about grace. Nothing we do will ever make us right because only God’s underserved favor will give us that privilege to be right and victorious. I used to do things in my own effort, trying to be good and following the law. The bible tells us to put on our new nature and be renewed. Christ died for us on the cross so that we will live free lives. God sent us his son so we will be full of love and not fearful. When you constantly walk in love and not go back and forth to your old life, you learn to know more about your Creator and become like him.
