EPH 4:22

…in reference to your former manner of life, you lay aside the old self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit…

EPH 4:24 

…and put on the new self, which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth.

When I Think About Home

 

EPH 2:14

For He Himself (the Lord Jesus Christ) is our peace, who made both groups (Jews and Gentiles) into one (group) and (who) broke down the barrier of the dividing wall…

 

EPH 2:15

…by abolishing in His flesh (His true humanity) the enmity, which is the (Mosaic) Law (an enmity) of commandments contained in ordinances, so that in Himself He (the Lord Jesus Christ) might make the two into ONE NEW MAN, thus establishing peace…

 

EPH 2:16

…and (that He…the Lord Jesus Christ) might reconcile them both (the two groups) in one body to God (the Father) through the Cross, by it (death on a Cross) having put to death the enmity.

 

EPH 2:17

AND HE (the Lord Jesus Christ) CAME AND PREACHED PEACE TO YOU WHO WERE FAR AWAY, AND (the Lord Jesus Christ preached) PEACE TO THOSE WHO WERE NEAR…

 

EPH 2:18

…for through Him He (the Lord Jesus Christ) we both (Jews and Gentiles) have our (direct) access (to God) in one Spirit to (God) the Father.

EPH 3:11-12

This was in accordance with the eternal purpose which He (God the Father) carried out in (union with) Christ Jesus our Lord,//in whom we (believers in Christ) have boldness and confident (direct) access through (our) faith in Him.

 

COL 1:19-20

For it was the (God the) Father’s good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him (the Lord Jesus Christ),//and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross; through Him, I say, whether things on earth or things in heaven.

 

ROM 6:11

Even so (believers in Christ) consider yourselves to be dead to (the sovereignty of the) sin (nature), but alive to God in (union with) Christ Jesus.

…and do not go on presenting the members of your body to (the) sin (nature) as instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves to God as (if you are one of) those alive from the dead, and (present) your members as instruments of righteousness to God.

 

ROM 6:14 

For (the) sin (nature) shall not be master over you, for you are not under law but under grace.
