LIFE CHANGE

PART 1

Ephesians 4:17-32

Crestview Mission Statement: Helping people experience life change through Jesus Christ.

“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”     John 10:10 (NIV)

WHAT MAKES THE CHRISTIAN LIFESTYLE DIFFERENT:

“That, however, is not the way of life you learned when you heard about Christ and were taught in Him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus.”     Ephesians 4:20-21 (NIV)

1. The truth of the Gospel.

“You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.”     Ephesians 4:22-24 (NIV)

2. Life change happens after salvation.

“So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking.”       Ephesians 4:17 (NIV)

3. Life change happens in community.

“Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor, for we are all members of one body.”       Ephesians 4:25 (NIV)

- How do you respond to Jesus each day?

“As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received.”                 Ephesians 4:1 (NIV)
