Ephesians: Out With the Old, In With the New Self (4:17-32)
How can I be an effective member of the body of Christ? Take off the old self and put on a new self. One made in the image of Christ.
But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. (2 Cor. 4:7 NIV)
How can I be an effective member of the body of Christ? Take off the old self and put on a new self. One made in the image of Christ.
As believers, each of us have been equipped to serve the rest of the body. Our spiritual gifts are not for our own benefit, but for the benefit of the body.
Jesus said that on this rock I will build my church. What is this church that Jesus will build on the rock. And what is the purpose of that church?
