Listen, My son, and be wise, and keep your heart on the right path.

Proverbs 23:19 (NIV)

As humans we are creatures of habit. Some of us have been Christians for years, while others only for a few days. Nevertheless, we all have been redeemed from destruction. Even though we have a new nature living on the inside of us, the Bible says that we need to put off the corrupt man and put on the new man. When we purposefully change our habits and remove the corruption in our lives, we are “putting on the new man ” (in Christ); we are keeping our hearts on the right path.
