Ephesians 4:17-24

Lesson #1 from Christ: PUT OFF! (4:22) A new life requires the removal of the old life! Our former manner of life is spiritually destitute & continues to grow corrupt (2:1-3) We ONCE walked/lived in harmony with the world (2:2) We ONCE walked/lived in harmony with the flesh (2:3) We ONCE made ourselves children of wrath (2:1) We ONCE lived after “deceitful lusts” (4:22) “But God who is rich…” (2:4)

Lesson #1 from Christ: PUT OFF! (4:22) I GET TO “Put off…” Falsehood (4:25) Outbursts of wrath & uncontrolled anger (4:26-27) Stealing & dishonesty (4:28) Unwholesome speech (4:29) Bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, slander, malice (4:31) Immorality, impurity and greed (5:3) Filthiness, foolish talking, crude joking (5:4) In my new life, some things don’t fit! My wardrobe has changed! Because I’m rich in righteousness & holiness!

Lesson #2 from Christ: PUT IN! (4:23) A new life requires a new spirit of mind/new direction With removal of the old, corrupt, deceitful man, we can see things more clearly! We are NO LONGER: Futile in thought (4:17) Darkened in understanding (4:18) Ignorant, hard-hearted or callous (4:18-19) Giving ourselves to sensuality, impurity & greed (4:19) In darkness and we NO LONGER are darkness (5:8)

Lesson #2 from Christ: PUT IN! (4:23) I GET TO “Put in” its place: A new RICH pursuit to “find out what is acceptable/ pleasing to the Lord” (5:10) A life as “light in the Lord” (5:8) A “walk as children of light” (5:8) A fruit-filled life of goodness, righteousness, truth (5:9) In my new life, some things don’t look good anymore! My eyesight has changed! Because I’m rich in righteousness & holiness!

Lesson #3 from Christ: PUT ON! (4:24) A new life brings a new identity, new passion and new ways of living Those once-needed works of darkness are now seen as futile & unfruitful (5:11-14) NEW & resolute focus must be given to our NEW man: NEW identity, in Christ (2 Cor. 5:17; Gal. 6:15) NEW life, in Christ (Rom. 6:4) NEW lifestyle (Eph. 4:24b) Created in the likeness of God (Eph. 4:24; Col. 3:10) Created in the image of true righteousness & holiness (4:24)

Lesson #3 from Christ: PUT ON! (4:24) I GET TO live and share the riches of righteousness! I GET TO BE honest and truthful (4:25) I GET TO BE anger righteously (4:26-27) I GET TO BE genuine, hardworking & generous (4:28) I GET TO BE encouraging/edifying with my words (4:29) I GET TO BE nice, kind and forgiving (4:31-32) I GET TO BE thankful (5:4) In my new life, some things don’t matter anymore! My affections have changed! Because I’m rich in righteousness & holiness!

So What? Now What? I’m Rich in Holiness Because I’m a Saint! Keep the old garments out of the closet & help brethren to do the same Continually renew the spirit of your mind & help brethren to do the same Live it up in the riches of righteousness & help brethren to do the same
