I totally agree with everything you've said. Once we give ourselves to Christ, we are dead to the "self" in us and have embraced Jesus. This means, allowing the Holy Spirit to take control our our actions, words, tongue, and body. There must be a transformation from the old self to the new self. The old self would keep malice and get angry easily, but the new self will know keeping malice is not of Christ. We are called Christians for a reason. You should always ask ourselves "What will Christ do in this situation?" And that can be answered with the help of the Holy Spirit.

Thank you for this reminder. God bless you
