Message
FROM DEATH TO LIFE
“A Transformed Life For Him”
Ephesians 4:17-24
Introduction: Paul in these verses is challenging those of us who are “in Christ” to live a transformed life which should be radically different from our previous tragic life.
The Tragic Life—Found in the Culture (Romans 12:2a)
Conformed Living—leads to emptiness (Ephesians 4:17) (Colossians 2:8)
Darkened Understanding—leads to confusion (Ephesians 4:18a) (John 1:5) (1 Corinthians 2:14) (Proverbs 4:19)
Alienated Existence—leads to spiritual death (Ephesians 4:18b)
Rationalized Stupidity—leads to fantasy (Ephesians 4:18c) (2 Corinthians 10:4-5)
Blinded Heart—leads to deception (Ephesians 4:18d) (2 Timothy 3:7) (2 Corinthians 4:3-4a)
Abandoned Morality—leads to insensitivity (Ephesians 4:19) (Titus 1:15)
“And so I insist and God backs me up on this that there be no going along with the crowd, the empty-headed, mindless crowd. They’ve refused for so long to deal with God that they’ve lost touch not only with God but with reality itself. They can’t think straight anymore. Feeling no pain, they let themselves go in sexual obsession, addicted to every sort of perversion.” (Ephesians 4:17-19—The Message)
The Transformed Life—Found in Christ
Learns Differently—leads to truth (Jesus) (Ephesians 4:20-21) (1 John 5:20)
Lives Differently—leads to regeneration (Ephesians 4:22)
Thinks Differently—leads to abundant living (Ephesians 4:23) (Romans 12:2)
Identifies Differently—leads to new creation (Ephesians 4:24) (2 Corinthians 5:17)
Application: Are you living in the reality of a transformed life founded in Christ? Does your life reveal that you are for Christ?
