Becoming Like Christ


What Are We Here For?

Becoming Like Christ


Memory Verse: Colossians 1:28 (NKJV) 28 Him we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus.


TEXT: Ephesians 4:22–32




INTRODUCTION:
Colossians 1:28; 2 Corinthians 5:17






What happens when we follow the biblical process for becoming like Christ?




1.     Throw off Your Old Way of Life
Ephesians 4:22; 2 Corinthians 5:16



2.     Transform your Thoughts
Ephesians 4:23; Romans 12:2; 2 Corinthians 3:18; Proverbs 23:7; John 17:17


“Conversion is a crisis that leads to a process. Through Christ, once and for all, we have been given a new position in His new creation, but day by day, we must by faith appropriate what He has given us. The Word of God renews the mind as we surrender our all to Him.”—Warren Wiersbe





3.     Take on a New Way of Living
Ephesians 4:24; Ephesians 4:25–32; Proverbs 15:1

“Anyone can become angry. But to be angry with the right person, to the right degree, at the right time, for the right purpose, and in the right way—this is not easy.”—Aristotle, Greek Philosopher
