If you are new to this blog, I encourage you to start with Intro [1] and then continue in order.
Every day, pray and ask God to help you.
DAY 1 AND 2
Read chapter 4. Make a couple of observations on 4:17-24. You could write a list, find some key words, look for a contrast and write what is being compared, or just ask and answer some basic who, what, where, when, and why questions.
V 21 says "assuming that you have heard about him and were taught in him" so once again this speaks to making sure you are really a believer. If the spirit of God does not dwell in you, you are not going to be able to do 25-32. Do you believe in Jesus and have you repented of your sin?
DAYS 3-6
Verse 22 talks about putting off the old self and then 24 speaks of putting on the new self. In 25-32 there are several things we are to put off and put on. Write out each set, including what is to be put off, what is to be put on, and why, if a reason is given.
Some other questions to consider:
1. What does it say about the new self?
2. If you really followed v 29 what would that look like? Are there things you would have to stop saying? What things would you be more likely to talk about?
3. What would it look like to be more kind and tenderhearted? How would it affect your relationships if you forgave more?
4. Do you have a relationship where you could be more intentional about encouraging one another in these things?
Every day, pray and ask God to help you.
