I was reflecting on Ephesians 4 and 5. I saw this pattern of instructions for how to live as a Christian, someone who is recreated to live like God in true righteousness and holiness. Put off falsehood
Put on speaking truth to your neighbor
because we are one body

Put off anger
Put on reconciliation
because you don’t give the Devil an inch

Put off stealing
Put on work
because you are a sharer

Put off biting comments
Put on encouragement.
Because you’re helpful.

Put off all kinds of violence.
Put on compassion.
Because God has forgiven you.

Put off obsenity of all kinds
Put on thanksgiving
Because you are children of light

Put off living like a fool.
Put on the Spirit
because your heart is tuned to Yahweh!
