Scripture Reference:
Ephesians 4:22 - 24 that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.

Reading Guide for Mom and Dad:
How do we reveal the Finished Work of the Cross? Always BY FAITH IN CHRIST.
Ephesians 4: 22-24 gives us the process: By putting off the old man and putting on the new man.
Everything is FINISHED AT THE CROSS, but our journey is about putting off the old and putting on the new.
How do we do this? By renewing the spirit of our mind. BY RENEWING OUR THOUGHTS, OUR MIND.
Remember Jesus's message from the beginning: Repent for the Kingdom of God is within reach.
He said: Change your mind, renew your mind because the rulership, the authority of God is within your reach.
The way to get to that place is by renewing your mind.
Romans 12:2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
If you prove God's will then you become the living proof as you are transformed!
You become proof of what God's will is.
By the Spirit and the Word working in us, we realize what Jesus did at the Cross. We get the revelation of the FINISHED WORK OF THE CROSS!
You can become the living proof of God's Will, and your children will see this and their hearts will taste this as they walk each day with you.
Take heart Mama, Jesus has overcome this world!
