Revd Graham Coldman discusses Paul's challenge to us all, to intentionally live the new life that we have in Christ - to "put off" the old life and "put on" the new. The imagery used by Paul in his letter to the Ephesians is that of changing clothes, it's an intentional action on our part. In a politically charged week, with a general election in the UK, we're reminded of the power of words, both constructive and destructive. God wants us to use words positively, to encourage and strengthen others.
