Sermon based on the text of Ephesians 4:17-24. The new man of God is to live a life characterized by righteoueness.
The lesson is taken from the text of 2 Corinthians 2:12-17. The text describes Paul, and by extension all Christians, as God’s fragrance. In effect, as we diffuse the fragrance of God (knowledge of Him), we become God’s fragrance. Rejected by the lost, received by the redeemed.
Those who live by faith will be faithful in their walk. They will obey God, and diligently live for His cause. They will set their affections on things above, where their reward is to be found.
We must forgive others because God forgave us, He commands us, It is in our best interest, and it is necessary for us to receive forgiveness from God.
We live in a day where men “call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” (Isaiah 5:20). The prophets woe is well deserved in our time. Brethren, it is time for Christians to become even more active in speaking out against such godliness in our nation!
