Summary
Paul describes five characteristics of those living apart from Christ in Ephesians 4:17–19, then calls believers to put off their old sinful selves and put on the new self created in God's likeness through the renewal of their minds. The sermon emphasizes that spiritual victory over sin—especially sexual sin—requires guarding what enters the mind and living according to one's new identity in Christ.
Highlights
A seared, calloused conscience has to dig deeper and deeper into depravity to experience the thrill of sin.
If we continually give ourselves up to sin, God gives us up to our sin.
Less of the world, more of the Word. That's how you find victory in your life over sin.
