Part 8: Put On the New
Message
- As believers, we are to avoid the immoral slide of non-believers:
- Futile thinking leads to . . . Ephesians 4:17
- Darkened understanding and ignorance lead to . . . V. 18
- Loss of all sensitivity leads to . . . V. 19a
- Given over to every kind of impurity. V. 19b
- We are to put off the old and put on the new:
- It begins by continually renewing our minds with our new identity. Ephesians 4:20-23
- We are to continually put off the old self:
- Lying V. 25
- Uncontrolled anger V. 26
- Stealing V. 28
- Unwholesome talk V. 29
- Bitterness V. 31
- We are to continually put on the new self:
- Honesty V. 25
- Meaningful work V. 28
- Building others up V. 29
- Kindness and compassion V. 32
- Forgiveness (Just as Christ forgave you) V. 32b
- As we constantly put off the old self and put on the new:
- We please the Holy Spirit and depend upon His power working in us. V. 30
- We don’t give the devil a foothold. V. 26
