"…*LAY APART ALL FITHINESS*…and receive the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls." Engrafted Word = to fit inside the Word. We place ourselves in GOD's Word to reflect it.

We often focus on how GOD saves our souls from Hell. But we shouldn't skip over our responsibility we must exercise before our souls are saved. Before we receive the engrafted word, which is able to save our souls, we must *LAY APART ALL FITHINESS*. Put off the old sinful man of wrongful disobedience against the LORD and put on the new man, which after GOD is created in righteousness and true holiness! We can't place the new holy man on top of the old sinful man. It won't work. The new will be corrupted by the old. You'll have wickedness mixed with righteousness. And righteousness cannot share its place with that which is wicked. It's 100% pure. So lay apart the curse words, lay apart the pornography, lay apart the unforgiveness, lay apart the evil imaginations, lay apart the lewdness, lay apart the promiscuity, lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness. Once this is done, then, and only then, put on the new man and accept GOD's engrafting salvation!!

Col. 3:9: "Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;" 

V. 10: "And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:"

Eph. 4:22: "That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;"

V. 23: "And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;"

V. 24: "And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness."
