Set Apart in Life, Part 2

FROM THE VAULT: Gospel Daily with Josh Weidmann Set Apart in Life, Part 2Series: Younique: Live A Life Set Apart By Christ Scripture: Eph 4:17-5:3 Episode: 789 Scripture Summary: In Ephesians 4:17–5:3, Paul urges believers to no longer live as the Gentiles do, caught in futility of thinking, darkened understanding, and hardness of heart. He contrasts their former way of life—marked by impurity and greed—with their new identity in Christ. Believers are called to put off the old self, which is corrupted by deceitful desires, and to be renewed in the spirit of their minds, putting on the new self created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. Paul gives practical instructions: speak truth, control anger, work honestly, and use words that build others up. In Chapter 5, he urges them to be imitators of God, living in love just as Christ loved us and gave Himself as a sacrificial offering. Believers are to avoid sexual immorality, impurity, and greed, as these are improper for God's holy people.
