Put on the new personality.—Eph. 4:24.
In
line with your wholehearted dedication to God, you want to imitate
Jesus to the best of your ability. This involves continuing to work
at putting away the old personality and putting on the new. (Eph.
4:20-23) When you come to respect a friend, you likely try to learn
from his example and good qualities. Likewise, you want to learn from
Christ and imitate him. You also need to respect the way Jesus
directs those dedicated to Jehovah. Christ is using imperfect humans
in the local congregation, particularly the spiritually older men,
the appointed elders. The provision of having such men appointed is
“with a view to the readjustment of the holy ones, . . .
for the building up of the body of the Christ.” (Eph. 4:11, 12)
Even if an imperfect human makes a mistake, Jesus as King of the
heavenly Kingdom is able to handle the matter in his time and way. Do
you believe that? w10
