In today's episode, we explore the imagery of clothing in the Christian life, as presented in Ephesians 4:17-24. Believers are called to "put off" the old self, characterized by sinful behaviors, and "put on" the new self, created in the likeness of God. This transformation reflects a deeper, counter-cultural calling to live in righteousness and holiness, rejecting the values of the world. As we walk in this new identity, we are reminded of the ongoing renewal that comes through a life surrendered to Christ.Empowered Living Vol 2: Too many Christians live uncertain of who they are in Christ, or what Christ has made available to them. They feel impoverished despite Christ's riches. They feel powerless despite Jesus' strength. They feel alone and without purpose despite being chosen by God. We are, at times, blind to the resources granted us as God's children. In this series, Dr. John continues his teaching from Ephesians. Paul elaborates on the spiritual blessings promised us and we find that truly, we are enriched beyond expectation.
