From the moment we were baptised, our lives should have been totally
transformed from our old ways and put on the ways of Christ, as we make much effort to love God and neighbour, not just with words,
but also through our actions. But are we really living a
Christian life, or are we only Christians in name, but living worldly
lives and doing worldly things like everyone else?
In
today's reading, St. Paul reminds us: "Since you have been brought back
to true life with Christ, you must look for the things that are in
heaven, where Christ is, sitting at God’s right hand... That is why you
must kill everything in you that belongs only to earthly life... You have stripped off your
old behaviour with your old self, and you have put on a new self which
will progress towards true knowledge the more it is renewed in the image
of its creator..."
Living a true Christian life may seem difficult or even impossible, but to
God, nothing is impossible. We will stumble and fall along the
way, but we should get up and strive on, making steady progress in
becoming more and more like Christ, while depending on His Grace and
providence.
