Glorious Renewal (Ephesians 4:17-24)
Paul Stith
Glorious Renewal
Ephesians 4:17-24
Since we are new creatures Paul calls us by the authority of Christ to walk worthy (4:1) of our calling and to live a life that is in clear contrast to our former way of life.
1. The Unbelievers Walk (17-19)
1a. Futile thinking
1b. Void of life that is in God
1b1. Because of ignorance
1b2. Because of hardness of heart
1c. A calloused heart
1d. Greed and every kind of impurity
One can see why we need transformation and a change of our thinking. This renewal grants an entirely different approach to life that is Christ-centered and aware of Gods instruction.
2. The Believers Walk (20-24)
2a. Contrasted sharply with the unbelievers walk
2b. This is a call to put off the old self
2c. This is a call to put on the new self
2d. Christ enables us by renewing our minds.
