Eph4

Take off the old self and put on the new self according to Christ. Since we have been sealed by the Holy Spirit through faith in Him, we are to daily put off our natural tendencies and put on Christ. We are to live for Christ and not ourselves every day.

This is a difficult challenge. What comes natural is always to follow our own desires. What is unnatural is to follow the ways of Christ. It is in doing the "unnatural thing" that we actually are participating in a "spiritual thing". We are to put away sin and to put on righteousness.

What characterizes your life? Is it natural desire or spiritual ability? Paul's challenge is for us to live by the Spirit. It is a great challenge today.
