Speaker: Charles Lincoln
Put away the old life of darkness, deceit, anger, impurity, and selfishness. Be renewed in your mind, walk in truth, kindness, forgiveness, and love, imitating God and following Christ’s example of sacrificial love.
Believers are called to preserve the Spirit’s oneness, grow in Christ through diverse gifts, and mature together as one Body. No longer children swayed by false teachings, they must speak truth in love, grow in Christ, and reject their former walk.
Paul reveals God’s grace and eternal purpose in Christ, prays that believers would know Christ’s immeasurable love, and urges them to live worthy of their calling through humility, gentleness, patience, love, and unity in the Spirit.
Once ruled by sin and deserving judgment, we have been made alive with Christ by grace. Through Jesus, Jews and Gentiles are reconciled as one body, sharing equally in God’s promise, inheritance, and the riches of Christ.
