Ephesians • Part 4
Mark Rouse & Levi Soodsma • August 28, 2022
22 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; 23 to be made new in the attitude of your minds; 24 and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. —Ephesians 4:22-24
17 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. 18 They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts. 19 Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, and they are full of greed. —Ephesians 4:17-19

19 Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord. —Acts 3:19
10 he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities. 11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him; 12 as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us. —Psalm 103:10-12

23 …to be made new in the attitude of your minds. —Ephesians 4:23
5 …and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. —2 Corinthians 10:5

26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. —Romans 8:26
16 Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst? —1 Corinthians 3:16
