Encouragements To The New Man

Having exhorted Brethren to put off the Old Man, Paul now exhorts them to put on the New Man, which is born of the Spirit of Grace in them. This chapter reveals that sin is very much present in the members of our fleshly body. The purpose of God leaving our fleshly body to be redeemed later is to give us Hope and Faith. And it teaches us about the love of God for us and the love we have for Brethren. Things that divide men will arise, but the love of our God conquers all in Christ. Leaving the burden with God, is how we "let the peace of God rule in [our] hearts". Trust the Lord to teach your brethren, heal and correct just as he does with you. You don't have to argue with or fix them. Trust him to do what is right and there will be peace. Then you may worship together in peace, joy and love.
