“And have clothed yourselves with the new [spiritual self], which is [ever in the process of being] renewed and remolded into [fuller and more perfect knowledge upon] knowledge after the image (the likeness) of Him Who created it.” Colossians 3:10 ->me: I really like the deeper interpretations the amplified adds to this verse. “Ever in the process of being renewed and remolded” -> the process of growing in the Lord and knowledge of Him is never ending…in fact we will need all of eternity to learn about Him. So, while I am here on earth I must be consistently seeking Him in the tools He has given me, the Word, the Holy Spirit, and the Church Body. The Spiritual Self is the new part of me that needs to be brought into maturity – when I am doing this right I not only learn more about God but I also learn more about myself and become more effective at listening to the Holy Spirit and responding to God’s instruction in my life. This is the part of me that as it grows becomes more adept at running to God first rather than a last minute rip cord.
