I am DIFFERENT (10 of 13)
Series: Ephesians: Who Am I? Discovering our True Identity

Ephesians 4:25-5:2
There are people all over the world today... that are desperate for life change.
In fact, one of the most common searches on Google today... are searches related to the HOW TO’s for experiencing life transformation or change in a person’s life.
One search that I had this week showed me The TOP 10 ways to CHANGE your life:
1. Create a dream board
2. Set goals
3. Do something that scares you
4. Travel the world
5. Change your routine
6. Get a new job
7. Sell your house
8. Get more active
9. Change your diet
10. Purchase a pet

That’s what we’ve learned so far in this letter... as Paul was writing to the believers in Ephesus, he was showing them, that... When Christ changes a person’s life, they not only receive a new identity ‘in Christ’ ... they also receive a new goal in life.
Paul shared that goal in [4:1] when he told them to: ‘‘walk worthy of the calling you have received.’’ I can just imagine these new believers in Ephesus... opening up the original scroll of t ...
