Message
FROM DEATH TO LIFE
“The Byproducts of a Transformed Life”
Ephesians 4:25-32
Introduction: Jesus guaranteed the potential for a transformed life through His death, burial, and resurrection. The Holy Spirit provides what is necessary to live a transformed life—through a process called sanctification. Sanctification is the process of taking off what needs to be taken off and putting on what needs to be put on. (2 Corinthians 5:17) (Romans 12:2)
Transformed Words (Matthew 12:36-37)
Take Off: Lying (Ephesians 4:25a) (Proverbs 6:16-19) (John 8:44)
Put On: Truth (Ephesians 4:25b) (Ephesians 6:14) (1 Thessalonians 2:13) (2 Timothy 2:15)
Take Off: Corrupt Speech (Ephesians 4:29a) (James 1:26) (Matthew 15:11)
Put On: Encouragement (Ephesians 4:29b) (1 Thessalonians 5:14) (2 Timothy 4:2)
Transformed Wrath
Take Off: Anger & Bitterness (Ephesians 4:26) (Romans 12:17-19)
Put On: Forgiveness & Freedom (4:26a-27) (Hebrews 12:14-15)
Transformed Work
Take Off: Stealing & Laziness (Ephesians 4:28a) (2 Thessalonians 3:10-13)
Put On: Productivity & Generosity (Ephesians 4:28b) (Acts 20:33-35)
Transformed Way
Take Off: Resentment (Ephesians 4:31)
Put On: Graciousness (Ephesians 4:32)
Application: All through Ephesians 4 Paul has reminded his readers clearly and repeatedly, that God expects His redeemed children to be different from the way they were before He saved them, and He expects them to be different from the world around them. When they are not the Holy Spirit is grieved. (Ephesians 4:30)
Which does your life most favor, that which needs to be taken off or that which needs to be put on?
