4:17 This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind, 18 having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart; 19 who, being past feeling, have given themselves over to lewdness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. 20 But you have not so learned Christ, 21 if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus: 22 that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, 23 and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, 24 and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.
Do you know that following Jesus isn’t about putting on a show but instead a complete change of mindset? In today’s message, Pastor John illustrates that it’s about turning away from sin, not just outwardly but inwardly. It’s allowing Jesus to free you from the burdens that weigh heavily on your soul. When you decide to follow Him, it’s a commitment to live differently and walk away from the things that have always held you hostage. Let His grace wash over you, cleansing you from the inside out.
Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Ephesians chapter 4 as he begins his message, Walk In Purity.
