Scripture Ephesians 4: 21-27

Have you received the truth as it was taught by Jesus? Have you accepted him into your heart and life? If you have then you should have experienced a change in your life. Your lifestyle should now be different. The way you act, the way you think and according to verse 22 our former conversations should be different. The old man must go and we must be renewed in the new man. We must put on the new man, which after God, is created in righteousness and true holiness.

If we use to lie, we cannot do it any longer with a clear conscience. We must tell the truth at all times. If we get angry, it cannot be to the point that we sin because of it. We must not let the sun go down until we settle whatever it was we were angry about. We should never go to bed angry. Verse 27 is some very sound advice. We should not give place to the devil. We can’t let him get a foothold in our lives because if he does, he will drag us down.

It is up to us how we live today. But, if we claim to be born again children of God, we have to live different from the world because our example is Jesus Christ, and in Him there was found no sin. When we are trying to please Him, we will live the best life we possibly can because of our love for Him. Let others see Jesus in you today. Let us make sure that our lives are lived in such a way that we will win souls to Jesus, not turn them away.




Our lives become as new
When we are born again
We no longer please ourselves
We try to please our King.
