Walking In Newness Of Life

Week Three

Putting To Death Sin And The Old Self

Day Sixteen

[Remember to always begin your Bible study with prayer.]

1. Begin todayt by reading Ephesians 4:17-32. Verse 19 tells us some people are "past feeling" or "callous" and therefore give themselves over to licentiousness (lasciviousness, i.e. sexual perversion). How does a person come to a point of being "past feeling"?

2. The word "licentiousness" denotes excess, absence of restraint, indecency (Vine's Dictionary of New Testament Words). It is especially used of "gluttony, filthy words, indecent bodily movements, unchaste handing of males and females (Thayer Greek New Testament). This type of behavior is certainlyl not what we have learned from Christ. This is the way the world lives and we cannot act this way any longer.

3. Make a list of those things a Christian should "put off" and "put on" in verses 25-32.

** Note the things with which you especially have trouble and pray to God for help in overcoming them.
