Religion & Spirituality
In having put off our old selves (3:5-11), Paul points us to the new nature to clothe ourselves in daily: Christ’s. If we live in our identity as chosen, holy, and beloved because of Him (and not our own striving), we are moved to behave in a strange new way, full of compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience; overcome by peace and filled with gratitude.
