The Replacement Principle Matthew 12:43-45

Ever Wonder… Why some never become Christians? Why some Christians repeat the same sins over and over again? Why some Christians never progress and grow to spiritual maturity? Answer: a void or vacuum needs filling

Examples of A Void or Vacuum An incandescent light bulb Vacuum packaging Engine vacuum and vacuum brakes Space travel

The Replacement Principle Matthew 12:43-45; Luke 11:24-26 1. The unclean spirit leaves the man 2. The unclean returns to a clean house 3. The unclean spirit returns & brings with him seven other spirits more evil 4. The last state is worse than the first

The Replacement Principle Principle 1: it is good that evil leaves Principle 2: the clean “house” (man) should be filled with good Principle 3: if no good fills the void or vacuum, evil returns and in greater force

The Replacement Principle We should replace being servants of sin with being servants of God (Rom. 6:1-23) We should replace the works of the flesh with the fruit of the Spirit (Gal. 5:16-26)

The Replacement Principle We should replace the old man with the new man (Eph. 4:17 – 5:14; Col. 3:5-17) We should replace a selfish mind with a selfless mind (Phil. 2:1-5)

The Replacement Principle We should replace laziness with work (2 Thess. 3:6-15) We should replace following the devil with drawing near to God (Jas. 3:13 – 4:10)

Some Practical Suggestions Replacing bad words Replacing improper use of time Replacing murmuring/complaining Replacing “free” time or “me” time Replacing immodest clothing
