Living in my new power in Christ (Ephesians 4:22-24)

1. Put Off 2. Think New 3. Put On

Living in my new power in Christ (Ephesians 4:22-24)

1. Put Off – Old self (my deceptive sin nature)

2. Think New – I have a new capability! (Romans 12:2) Do not conform any

longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.

3. Put On – New self (my new godly nature)

(2 Corinthians 5:17) Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!

Remember, then Decide REMEMBER (Romans 6:11-13) In the same

way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

DECIDE (Romans 6:12-13} Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. {13} Do not offer the parts of your body to sin, as instruments of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God, as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer the parts of your body to him as instruments of righteousness.
