"Put on the new self, the truly good and holy self created by God," Ephesians 4:24.
Yes. We heard Christ. We were taught in Christ. We were taught mindful spiritual renewal. (Wait - when were we taught this? When we heard the gospel. And when we received the gifts Christ gave his congregation. Oh. Yeah. right. oops! just forgot for a moment there.) We were taught to control for the new way. God's own new way. To live true. To live good. To live holy. No more rot or things that rot away. Instead, to live kind. Tenderhearted. Forgiving.
When we meet with a brother or sister today, we remember we ourselves have been forgiven, so we forgive. And, together, we say to God: Thank You for the new way that brings life!
