Righteousness and Holiness

Ephesians 4

Thank you, Father, for the gift of faith, and for the knowledge of the Lord Jesus. Thank you, that I know of him, but also, much better, I know him personally by his spirit who lives in me and communes with me day by day and thought by thought.

You have changed me by renewing my mind and by perfecting me in accord with the character of my Lord Jesus. I am no longer a child cared about by every wind of doctrine, nor am I tossed about by the foolishness and trickery of men.

Instead, I live with you, Lord, in truth. I grow up in you, and I am knit together in your body, the church.

I ceaselessly put off my old man, and I am renewed moment by moment in the spirit of my mind. I put on the new man who is created in accord with your will. I live in true righteousness and holiness.
