I need to put on my new nature and learn to know Jesus so I can be like Him. Learning to be like Him requires me to read the Word of God and do what it says.

I want them to be encouraged and knit together by strong ties of love. I want them to have complete confidence that they understand God’s mysterious plan, which is Christ himself. In him lie hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. I am telling you this so no one will deceive you with well-crafted arguments. For though I am far away from you, my heart is with you. And I rejoice that you are living as you should and that your faith in Christ is strong.

I must remember to live as I should, relying on Jesus and his treasures of wisdom and knowledge. It's very easy to be persuaded by well-crafted arguments, but my salvation in Jesus is more important than arguments that sound good.
I must remember to live how Jesus wants me to live and understand the plan of salvation that God sent, that is Jesus.
