you have put off the old man
with his deeds, and have put on the new man who is
renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him, Colossians 3:9-10 "Look to Abraham your
father, And to Sarah who bore you; For I called him alone, And blessed him and increased
him." 2 Samuel 9:6 Now when Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, was come unto David, he fell on his face, and did reverence. And David said, Mephibosheth. And he answered, Behold thy servant! |
I am a new man in Christ

Hebrews 12:9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our
flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in
subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? Hebrews 12:28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: |
I am aware of how God is working through the people and
events in my life to produce the character of Christ in me. I also know that each person I meet is created in the Image of God, fearfully and wonderfully made. God instructs me to treat this person as a future or present child of God, who can or does bring glory to God through the development of the character of Christ. My reverence toward that person will help develop that character. Even evildoers create the character of Christ in me, and may someday be have a vital life message to share with others. Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear
of the LORD all the day long. {18} For
surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off. |

Ephesians 5:33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband. | And we know that all things work together for good to
those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. For whom
He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He
might be the firstborn among many brethren. -- Romans 8:28-29 I have remembered Thy Name, O LORD, in the night, and have kept
Thy Law. |
