"Put off the old self and put on the new self" (Ephesians 4:22-24): Introduction The apostle Paul's letter to the Ephesians contains a powerful exhortation in chapter 4, verses 22-24, urging believers to "put off" their old self and "put on" the new self. This passage is a call to transformation, encouraging Christians to justify and rationalize its behavior. Renewal of the Mind The process of transformation begins with a renewed mind (Ephesians 4:23). This renewal is not a superficial change but a profound transformation of our thoughts, attitudes, and beliefs. It involves a shift from a worldly perspective to a divine one, as we begin to see ourselves and the world through God's eyes. This renewal is a continuous process, as we daily surrender our minds to Christ .
