Since we are the children of God so we need to give up all kinds of bad behavior. Jesus asked us to live a life that is free of all kinds of sinful activities. We cannot please God by keeping our fleshly works active in us.
We must walk in the spirit in order to understand what God actually wants from us. We need to change our way of living so that we can glorify God through our works and words.
Our behavior plays a vital role in our spiritual life so we need to pay heed to that so that we can make ourselves qualify in God’s righteousness.
Let us look at the following Bible verses to give bad behavior and to put on the new man who was created in the image of God.
