It's Day 45 and we're in Ephesians 4.
Where God Spoke To Me:- Verse 24 - This is such an important spiritual growth idea: we have to put on the new person that we've become.
Help:
- Verses 9-10 - Some argue these verses refer to Christ "descending into hell" after His death in order to preach to the spirits held captive; others believe it's a reference to Jesus coming to earth.
- Verses 22-24 - We have been given a new nature and been made into a new creation through Christ. We still, however, are in our flesh and struggle with its earthly tendencies. We need to make a conscious choice to "put on" the person we've been made in Christ and "put off" the old self.
- Verse 30 - "sealed" - Like a letter from a king would have been given the royal seal before it was sent, so we to have been "sealed" by the Holy Spirit as proof of God's intent to see us through the journey ahead.
