Lay Aside The Old

So I say this, and insist in the Lord, that you no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking. They are darkened in their understanding, being alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardness of their hearts. Because they are callous, they have given themselves over to indecency for the practice of every kind of impurity with greediness. If indeed you heard about Him and were taught in Him, just as the truth is in Jesus. You were taught with reference to your former way of life to lay aside the old man who is being corrupted in accordance with deceitful desires, to be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and to put on the new man who has been created in God’s image – in righteousness and holiness that comes from truth. Ephesians 4:17-24 NET

Jesus came to seek and save the lost. He commanded us to do likewise. He gave His very life for each and every one of us, generation after generation. What are we doing in response to His command to seek the lost? I have been lost, I have been broken, I am a sinner. I know we have been surprised and hurt by the words and actions of individuals and I am certain we have all acted in ways that have surprised and hurt others. 

John 13:35 TPT For when you demonstrate the same love I have for you by loving one another, everyone will know that you’re My true followers.

So if we truly believe the world needs Jesus, when we more than just state it, we will walk in the absolute truth, we will share His sacrificial love with those around us and rest in the peace that the world can know Jesus too.
