Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him (Col.3:9-10)
As the husbandman, God wants you to put on the new man, so you can manifest the character of the new man. But who is this new man? He is Jesus Christ, the perfect example of the good and godly husbandman. You must understand and recognize that you are as Christ at home as Christ was to His disciples here in earth. Jesus said these words to you and I, “As I am, so are you in this world”. Jesus Christ is the bridegroom so are you. He loved the church so are you. He sacrificed for the church so it can have abundant life, so are you. He protected, guided and provided for the church, so are you. He represented the Father here in earth with honour, dignity and He was faithful, so are you.
But for you to put on Christ’s nature so you can be like Him, you must renew and keep renewing your mind by the knowledge of the Word of God (Rom.12:2). Your life as the husbandman is like that of a car engine that requires regular servicing to maintain high performance. The more you study the word of God, with the Person of the Holy Spirit helping you, the more you know about the life of Jesus Christ.
Therefore, as the good and godly husbandman, these are the virtues God wants you to put on from now.
Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, long-suffering, forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any, even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. And above all these things, put on love, which is the bond of perfectness (Col.3:12-14).
Hallelujah!
