Ephesians 4:17-24 - Putting Off and Putting On


We are all constantly changing and growing. People like to talk about how we're never really the same person from one moment to the next. But those in Christ are truly new people in a completely profound way, those in Christ are new people in a supernatural way because grace changes everything! So how we get this new identity? How does this play out? We take a little look at that in Ephesians 4:17-24.

Eph. 4:17   Now this I say and testify in the Lord, that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their minds. 18 They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their hardness of heart. 19 They have become callous and have given themselves up to sensuality, greedy to practice every kind of impurity. 20 But that is not the way you learned Christ!— 21 assuming that you have heard about him and were taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus, 22 to put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, 23 and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, 24 and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.
