Put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness. ~ Ephesians 4:22-24
Paul, the author of Ephesians, knew full well what it means to “put off your old self.” In his early life, he was deeply trained in the Jewish laws, studying under the best tutor. Full of zeal, he had full permission to beat, jail and kill the early followers of Jesus. On the road to Damascus, the resurrected Jesus appeared to him. That supernatural event had Paul studying the Jewish Law fervently with Jesus pointing out hundreds of scriptures about the coming Messiah that he had fulfilled. Recognizing that Jesus was the Messiah, Paul dropped his old self, fervently spending the rest of his life experiencing the same torment he had inflicted on others while he travelled, helping others to know, understand and accept the love and teachings of Jesus.
