In this powerful message, we're challenged to embrace our new identity in Christ and put off our old selves. The key scripture, Colossians 3:5-17, serves as a spiritual roadmap for this transformation. We're called to 'put to death' our earthly nature - things like sexual immorality, anger, and tribalism - and instead 'put on' compassion, kindness, and love. This isn't about behavior modification, but about a fundamental change in who we are. Just as a baseball player changes uniforms when joining a new team, we too must clothe ourselves in our new identity as God's chosen, holy, and beloved children. This change isn't something we do to earn God's favor, but rather a response to the love and grace we've already received. As we let Christ's word dwell in us and sing praises with grateful hearts, we're reminded that our lives are now hidden with Christ in God. How might we live differently if we truly embraced this new identity each day?
