Live Differently

Now that we think differently, our actions must reflect that

What did we talk about earlier?

Colossians 3:17 ESV

And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Think Differently

This is the fun part.

Colossians 3:5–9 ESV

5 Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. 6 On account of these the wrath of God is coming. 7 In these you too once walked, when you were living in them. 8 But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth. 9 Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices

V5 - This verse calls it out like it is. Unfortunately, this topic seemed pg. 13 in a way but in all honesty, I would be surprised if you haven’t heard these things before or your friends. There are inappropriate movies, videos, social media now is cool with a bunch of sexual dances and trying to embrace that. Social media has glorified it more and more. Dressing more scandalously, and guys watching and promoting it.

There are inappropriate media that guys often watch whether on social media or other websites. I used to be highly addicted to this stuff. I was not glorifying God and doing it for the name, He told me to not do it.

Guys no more looking at girls basically wearing no clothing on instagram.

Girls be careful on you what you wear and post

Although covetousness in this case could regard to sexual sin still, it still applies to us. Jealousy insecurity,

V6 - Here is the hard truth.

The wrath of God judges us for these things if we don’t have Christ.

We are saved because of God’s good grace, but we shouldn’t be living the way our lives were prior to Christ. Life should be different. Right, this sin was what God was going to pour His wrath on yet now we continue to live in it.

Imagine it’s like Berkley forgave me that I cheated on her, should I keep cheating on her.

Why do we do that with God?

V7 - Keyword “Once” and “when” but now that means no more! We can’t keep doing this guys. Write down one thing you know you keep doing That’s wrong.

Why do you think you keep doing it?

V8 - What must we do? Put them away. Put them away. You can’t keep sinning. You will make mistakes but you must put those things away. He goes into detail more about certain kinds of thing.

Let’s go into detail of each one of these

V9 - You must put it away.

No exception. You will make mistakes, but don’t keep continuing to sin and practicing it.
