In Put Off the Old Person: Put on the New Person, Edward D. Andrews explains how to carry out this biblical responsibility. Fourteen practical chapters examine human imperfection, harmful influences, firm convictions, and the renewal of the mind. Readers learn to recognize hidden sin, address spiritual apathy, direct their desires, and follow Christ’s example of humility and service. Further chapters address sound judgment, moral discernment, integrity, and family responsibilities. Each subject connects scriptural instruction with conduct the reader can examine and change.
Grounded in Ephesians 4 and Colossians 3, this book encourages honest self-examination and specific acts of obedience. It helps readers identify what must be abandoned and what righteous conduct should take its place. Correction becomes an opportunity to acknowledge wrongdoing and act responsibly. Daily relationships become opportunities to practice patience, truthfulness, and love. The aim is a life in which faith in Christ is expressed through dependable Christian conduct.
