Put Off, Put On!

Luke 11:24-26   
24 “When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ 25 And when he comes, he finds it swept and put in order. 26 Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first.”

If we are not with God in Christ, then we are overpowered and overtaken by unseen evil; our fleeting good works cannot secure us from the evil one if we are apart from Jesus.  If we are in Christ then we must still put on godliness after putting off sinful habits in word, deed, and thoughts. For if we only stop doing wrong and neglect to fill the void with good, we are overtaken by sin yet again.
