[Manna - October 10]
Ye have put off the old man with his deeds, and have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of Him that created him. Colossians 3:9,10
ONLY in our minds, in our wills, have the old
things passed away and all things become new.
Actually,
this change will be accomplished when this mortal
shall have put on immortality, when this corruptible
shall be raised in incorruption—raised in glory, in
power, spirit beings.
But meantime, in order to be
counted worthy of a share in the First Resurrection,
it is required of us that we shall demonstrate our willingness
of mind, our earnest desire to be all that the
Lord would have us be; and in no way can this be
better demonstrated to the Lord and to ourselves, or
prove more helpful, than by keeping a strict surveillance
of our hearts and of our thoughts. Z.'04-25 R3307:4
