Colossians Colossians
Colossians 3:8-9 But now you yourselves are to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth. Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds .
Colossians 3:12-14 Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection.

Without choosing to put on the godly clothing types of characteristics, our natural bent will revert to wearing our old clothing the clothing that s saturated with natural, sinful characteristics.
Colossians 3:15-17 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

Ephesians 5:18 And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit .
Major Bible Themes 52 Vital Doctrines of the Scriptures Simplified and Explained God the Holy Spirit: His Filling. Lewis Sperry Chafer Revised by John Walvoord
It is clear from Scripture that a Christian may be genuinely saved without being filled with the Spirit, and the filling of the Spirit is therefore not a part of salvation itself.
The filling of the Spirit may be defined as a spiritual state where the Holy Spirit is fulfilling all that He came to do in the heart and life of the individual believer. It is not a matter of acquiring more of the Spirit, but rather of the Spirit of God acquiring all of the individual.
The filling of the Spirit is, accordingly, accomplished in every believer when he is fully yielded to the indwelling Holy Spirit, resulting in a spiritual condition in which the Holy Spirit controls and empowers the individual. While there may be degrees of manifestation of the filling of the Spirit and degrees of divine power, the central thought in the filling is that the Spirit of God is able to operate in and through the individual without hindrance, accomplishing God s perfect will for that person.
Ephesians 4:30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
Ephesians 4:30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 1 Thessalonians 5:19 Do not quench the Spirit.
From the nature of the filling of the Spirit, it may be concluded that the wide difference in spiritual experience observed in Christians and the various degrees of conformity to the mind and will of God may be traced to the presence or absence of the filling of the Spirit. One desiring to do the will of God must accordingly enter fully into the privilege that God has given him in being indwelt by the Spirit and having the capacity to yield his life to the Spirit of God completely.
Ephesians 5:25-27 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.
