The Christian’s Lifestyle

Ephesians 4:25-32

1. Our Morality

a. What we consider to be right and wrong


So stop telling lies. Let us tell our neighbors the truth, for we are all parts of the same body. Ephesians 4:25


b. We are to put off lying and speak the truth.


For you are the children of your father the devil, and you love to do the evil things he does. He was a murderer from

the beginning. He has always hated the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his

character; for he is a liar and the father of lies. John 8:44


And “don’t sin by letting anger control you.” Don’t let the sun go down while you are still angry, for anger gives a

foothold to the devil. Ephesians 4:26-27

2. Our Moods

a. Anger must be governed.


Don’t sin by letting anger control you. Psalm 4:4


Jesus made a whip from some ropes and chased them all out of the Temple. He drove out the sheep and cattle, scattered

the money changers’ coins over the floor, and turned over their tables. Then, going over to the people who sold doves,

he told them, “Get these things out of here. Stop turning my Father’s house into a marketplace!” John:15-16

3. Our Money

If you are a thief, quit stealing. Instead, use your hands for good hard work, and then give generously to others in need.

Ephesians 4:28


a. If you are a thief, quit stealing

4. Our Mouths

Don’t use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an

encouragement to those who hear them. Ephesians 4:29


a. Get rid of your unwholesome talk.


b. Make a habit of complimenting at least one person each day.

5. Our Manners

And do not bring sorrow to God’s Holy Spirit by the way you live. Remember, he has identified you as his own, guaranteeing that you will be saved on the day of redemption. Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior. Ephesians 4:30-31


Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you. Ephesians 4:32


a. Treat others as God has treated you.


Once again you will have compassion on us. You will trample our sins under your feet and throw them into the depths of the ocean! Micah 7:19


He has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the west. Psalm 103:12
