Resolve "New Years Study in Ephesians"

Resolve is to be real. First to who we are, where we are, and most importantly, where we want to be.

“Whatever we are in our religion, let us resolve never to wear a cloak. Let us by all means be honest and real.” J.C. Ryle

Christian Standard Bible (Chapter 4)

17 Therefore, I say this and testify in the Lord: You should no longer walk as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thoughts. 18 They are darkened in their understanding, excluded from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them and because of the hardness of their hearts. 19 They became callous and gave themselves over to promiscuity for the practice of every kind of impurity with a desire for more and more.

Christian Standard Bible Chapter 4

20 But that is not how you came to know Christ, 21 assuming you heard about him and were taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus, 22 to take off, your former way of life, the old self that is corrupted by deceitful desires, 23 to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, 24 and to put on, the new self, the one created according to God’s likeness in righteousness and purity of the truth.
