Episode Description: In this episode we chat through Ephesians 4:17-24. Paul reminds us that our lives should reflect our new identity in Christ, not who we used to be before Christ, darkened, alienated, and hard. We are called to PUT OFF our old ways and thinking and PUT ON our new selves in the likeness of God.
Take Action:
- Re-read Ephesians 1:3-14. What parts of your true identity in Christ are hardest for you to “put on”?
- What sins/temptations are you allowing to hover around like turkey vultures or hang around like an old nasty clothing item? How can you put those thoughts/sins off and put on Christ?
- Read Ephesians 4:25-5:1 for next week!
Study tools/tips and resources:
- Twistables or any Bible highlighters
- Look up word usage in Blue Letter Bible or Studylight.org to see where the same words are used throughout the Bible
- List the contrasts you see in a section of Scripture (ex: darkened, alienated, ignorant vs likeness of God, righteousness, holiness)
