Clinging To Self

• Clinging To Self - This teaching is about our walk and ensuring we are not clinging to our old self but living in the newness of Christ Jesus. If we allow the Spirit to examine us, we will see just how must we still indulge in our old self and old behaviors, and sinful ways as a Christian. We can’t serve the Lord while still desiring the things we did in our old self, in our old way of life. Christ says if we take our hand off the plow and look back, desiring the things of old, we will not be fit for the kingdom of God. All our old habits, behaviors, and sins have to be put to death, they must go, so we can faithfully follow and serve Christ Jesus in pleasing God. We must learn to live in the new life we have in Christ, be complete in the Lord, not needing anything from our old self. (its riches, greed, cursing, lying, cheating, selfishness, boastful, pride, or arrogance). We can live without any of these behaviors and habits, be full of joy and happiness in Christ Jesus, living in our new self.
