How We Put On and Keep On The New Personality

"THE new personality."  That expression occurs twice in the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures.  (Ephesians 4:24; Colossians 3:10) It refers to a personality that is "created according to God's will."  Developing such a new personality is within our reach. Why?  Because Jehovah created humans in his image and thus made it possible to reflect his beautiful qualities. -Genesis 1:26, 27; Ephesians 5:1. 

True, because of  the imperfection we inherited from our first parents, we are affected by wrong desires .  We may also have been deeply influenced by our environment.  Yet, with Jehovah's merciful help, we can succeed in becoming the sort of person he wants us to be. To strengthen our desire to r each that goal, we will consider several aspects of the new personality that the apostle Paul was  inspired to write about.  (Read Collossians 3:10-14) We will also consider how we can demonstrate these aspects in our ministry.
