Respond to God’s Word

As you take in knowledge of God’s Word, you will appreciate its wisdom, how it can improve immensely the quality of living, even now. You will learn, for example, of God’s requirement of replacing our “old personality” with a “new personality.” Why is this? Well, what will make life in God’s new order so desirable? Earth-wide peace, for one thing. Screaming, fighting, quarreling affect both mental and physical health. For those seeking life in God’s favor, the Bible tells them what to do now:

and clothe yourselves with the new personality.”​—Col. 3:8-10.

This will take time, of course. But progress in such things will make life, family life in particular, so much more enjoyable. So Christians need to respond to God’s Word.
