Personal Holiness

Neat wrapping can hide torn edges underneath. Ephesians 4 grounds personal holiness in what God has already done: Christ rescues sinners, brings them near, and gives them a new identity. Christians put off their former way of life by speaking truth, building others up, and forgiving as Christ forgave them. They fight sin as people already accepted through Christ, seeking joy in God's presence rather than letting guilt drive their obedience. Bible References: Ephesians 4:1, 4:17–5:2 Preacher: KJ Tromp
