When we put our faith in Jesus, we received a new nature. But this new nature needs to mature for us to become the new creatures we are intended to be. If we would:

-Be quick to listen (for what he is saying to you)

-Be slow to speak (your own opinion)

-Be slow to anger (take offense at God’s words)

-Put God’s words into practice

-Humbly submit to the working of God’s word in us

Then we will be blessed in what we do!
