WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:10.880 And so, Father, as we look into the mirror of your word and we read that you say of us that we are new creations in Christ Jesus, we know you're not lying. 00:00:12.880 --> 00:00:14.640 We know that this is true. 00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:17.339 This is who we are now. 00:00:18.280 --> 00:00:23.320 And so, Father, oh, the God who it's impossible to lie. 00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:36.259 God, would you remind us that you have created us in your likeness, in true righteousness and holiness, and now we're to put away falsehood. 00:00:36.679 --> 00:00:40.379 And now we are to speak the truth to one another. 00:00:41.159 --> 00:00:48.420 God, I do pray that you would unite us as a church and are being honest and truthful with one another. 00:00:49.159 --> 00:00:51.380 We ask this in the name of Jesus. 00:00:51.380 --> 00:00:52.900 Amen. 00:00:54.280 --> 00:00:54.840 Amen. 00:01:03.020 --> 00:01:06.079 Now, I'm not sure if what I'm about to say is a confession. 00:01:06.340 --> 00:01:07.879 It may very well be that. 00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:22.260 I have owned some ratty, nasty, old t-shirts that I have become sentimentally attached to. 00:01:22.260 --> 00:01:23.820 Anybody else? 00:01:24.880 --> 00:01:26.020 Yes, I see that hand. 00:01:26.100 --> 00:01:26.820 I see that hand. 00:01:26.939 --> 00:01:27.439 Come on down. 00:01:27.600 --> 00:01:28.040 No, just kidding. 00:01:30.780 --> 00:01:37.400 And my dear wife will see me handling one of these delicate t-shirts because they have been through the ringer. 00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:43.300 And I'll be holding this t-shirt like a newborn baby to put into my drawer. 00:01:43.820 --> 00:01:46.180 And what she'll be doing is something like this. 00:01:46.180 --> 00:01:48.100 No way. 00:01:48.100 --> 00:01:48.140 No way. 00:01:48.140 --> 00:01:48.180 No way. 00:01:48.180 --> 00:01:48.200 No way. 00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:48.220 No way. 00:01:48.220 --> 00:01:48.700 No way. 00:01:48.700 --> 00:01:48.740 No way. 00:01:48.740 --> 00:01:49.800 No way. 00:01:49.800 --> 00:01:50.520 That's got to go. 00:01:52.140 --> 00:01:54.080 And sometimes I agree. 00:01:54.079 --> 00:02:00.019 And that t-shirt becomes rags. 00:02:00.019 --> 00:02:06.899 And other times I just have to say, I'm not ready. 00:02:06.900 --> 00:02:15.900 Well, this morning we're going to have to rid ourselves of an old and nasty t-shirt called falsehood. 00:02:17.020 --> 00:02:26.420 And we're going to have to put on a new clean and just wonderful t-shirt called truthfulness. 00:02:27.480 --> 00:02:27.980 Honesty. 00:02:27.979 --> 00:02:34.739 And what you need to know off the bat is that that t-shirt smells like Jesus. 00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:40.120 If you would open up your Bibles to Ephesians chapter 4. 00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:43.500 We're going to be focusing on one verse this morning, verse 25. 00:02:44.079 --> 00:02:46.979 But we're going to start with a run-up in verse 17. 00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:52.959 So let's read verses 17 and we're going to read through verse 25. 00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:56.099 The Apostle Paul says this. 00:02:56.199 --> 00:02:57.299 This is God's word. 00:02:57.300 --> 00:02:59.900 The God in whom it is impossible to lie. 00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:08.020 Now this I say and testify in the Lord that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do in the futility of their minds. 00:03:09.340 --> 00:03:11.060 They are darkened in their understanding. 00:03:11.480 --> 00:03:16.700 Alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to their hardness of heart. 00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:20.200 They have become callous and have given themselves up to sensuality. 00:03:20.340 --> 00:03:22.080 Greedy to practice every kind of impurity. 00:03:22.640 --> 00:03:24.800 But that's not the way you learned Christ. 00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:31.960 Assuming that you have heard about Him and were taught in Him as the truth is in Jesus. 00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:38.500 To put off your old self which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires. 00:03:39.020 --> 00:03:41.120 And to be renewed in the spirit of your minds. 00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:47.900 And to put on the new self created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness. 00:03:47.900 --> 00:03:48.900 Verse 25. 00:03:48.900 --> 00:03:57.540 Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor. 00:03:58.379 --> 00:04:01.120 For we are members. 00:04:01.620 --> 00:04:05.700 We are members one of another. 00:04:05.699 --> 00:04:08.799 Our speech matters to God. 00:04:10.299 --> 00:04:13.939 What we say makes a difference. 00:04:15.299 --> 00:04:18.439 Our words have an effect. 00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:20.420 That's God's design. 00:04:22.139 --> 00:04:27.219 And as Christians, those who have been made new by God, 00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:32.419 our words are to have a particular kind of effect. 00:04:32.420 --> 00:04:36.400 We are to rid ourselves of lying, falsehood. 00:04:37.060 --> 00:04:40.100 And we must speak truthfully to one another. 00:04:40.580 --> 00:04:43.860 And that truth speaking has an intended effect. 00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:46.580 It builds the body. 00:04:48.060 --> 00:04:49.939 I've been saying for some time now, 00:04:50.060 --> 00:04:51.980 who you are determines how you live. 00:04:53.080 --> 00:04:54.680 And what we're going to see this morning is, 00:04:54.939 --> 00:04:57.639 who you are determines what you say. 00:04:58.700 --> 00:04:59.759 How you speak. 00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:04.579 And so this morning, three moves to help you see what God means 00:05:04.579 --> 00:05:06.459 and to bring it to bear in our lives. 00:05:07.379 --> 00:05:09.959 First, we're going to start in front of the mirror. 00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:12.560 And we're going to start in front of the mirror. 00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:14.639 And from the mirror, we're going to move to the closet. 00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:17.860 And from the closet, we're going to go to the church. 00:05:18.459 --> 00:05:22.039 So mirror, closet, church. 00:05:22.420 --> 00:05:23.620 I hope it all makes sense. 00:05:25.420 --> 00:05:26.139 From the mirror. 00:05:26.139 --> 00:05:32.539 We all have morning routines, don't we? 00:05:33.919 --> 00:05:36.959 And I'm guessing at some point in your morning routine, 00:05:37.379 --> 00:05:40.620 you take a look at yourself in the mirror. 00:05:41.719 --> 00:05:43.539 Now, I'm sure that some of us, 00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:46.719 in this morning glance in the mirror, 00:05:46.919 --> 00:05:48.879 you walk by the mirror and you are like, 00:05:49.599 --> 00:05:51.419 man, you are stunning. 00:05:51.420 --> 00:05:56.720 I can't believe you look so good. 00:05:57.540 --> 00:05:59.500 But the most of us, 00:05:59.500 --> 00:06:01.540 we wake up and we go and look in the mirror 00:06:01.540 --> 00:06:03.840 and it's more like damage control. 00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:06.780 For example, 00:06:08.180 --> 00:06:08.600 teenagers, 00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:10.360 you wake up wondering, 00:06:10.840 --> 00:06:11.960 is there a zit on my chin? 00:06:12.520 --> 00:06:14.780 And your greatest fear is to see Mount Fuji 00:06:14.780 --> 00:06:16.280 on your chin that morning. 00:06:16.420 --> 00:06:16.900 Is it not? 00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:18.000 Totally. 00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:20.240 Brothers, 00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:24.180 those of us who are getting on in the years, 00:06:24.819 --> 00:06:26.339 we walk in and look in the mirror 00:06:26.339 --> 00:06:27.560 and we pull back our hair 00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:28.000 and we say, 00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:29.759 has my forehead moved to a five head? 00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:30.740 Or a six head? 00:06:30.819 --> 00:06:31.839 Or a seven head? 00:06:33.899 --> 00:06:34.959 I have a three head. 00:06:37.439 --> 00:06:37.839 Ladies, 00:06:38.220 --> 00:06:39.600 you're looking at your eyes 00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:41.079 and the bags under your eyes 00:06:41.079 --> 00:06:41.680 and you're saying, 00:06:41.899 --> 00:06:44.040 that is like pocketbook full, 00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:45.040 kind of size. 00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:46.520 That's kind of like Harley Davidson 00:06:46.520 --> 00:06:50.760 writing pouch size bags under my eyes. 00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:52.560 So we go and we look 00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:53.980 and it's damage control, right? 00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:55.500 And we're looking at the mirror 00:06:55.500 --> 00:06:57.020 because the mirror doesn't lie. 00:06:57.520 --> 00:06:57.879 It doesn't. 00:06:59.460 --> 00:07:00.980 Did you know there's another kind of mirror 00:07:00.980 --> 00:07:02.220 that you can look at in every morning? 00:07:04.280 --> 00:07:05.879 James talks about it as 00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:08.360 the law of liberty, 00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:10.060 God's word. 00:07:10.060 --> 00:07:12.139 Every morning, 00:07:12.699 --> 00:07:13.980 we can go to the mirror 00:07:13.980 --> 00:07:15.300 of God's word 00:07:15.300 --> 00:07:17.220 and it doesn't lie. 00:07:18.339 --> 00:07:19.759 It shows you 00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:21.939 who you really are. 00:07:22.660 --> 00:07:24.639 Your true self. 00:07:26.420 --> 00:07:27.360 This morning, 00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:29.560 we've got to remind ourselves 00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:30.600 who we really are. 00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:32.459 We've got to look at the mirror 00:07:32.459 --> 00:07:33.379 of God's word, 00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:35.740 Ephesians 4, 17 through 24, 00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:38.379 and we've got to remind ourselves 00:07:38.379 --> 00:07:38.899 who we are. 00:07:38.899 --> 00:07:41.000 It's like God uses this passage 00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:42.839 and He puts it in front of you 00:07:42.839 --> 00:07:43.819 and He says, 00:07:44.359 --> 00:07:45.219 Daughter, son, 00:07:45.379 --> 00:07:47.159 this is who you are now. 00:07:48.719 --> 00:07:49.959 You're a new creation 00:07:49.959 --> 00:07:50.899 in Christ Jesus. 00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:52.099 Don't forget that. 00:07:52.219 --> 00:07:52.859 Remember that. 00:07:53.259 --> 00:07:54.439 Renew your mind 00:07:54.439 --> 00:07:55.699 on this reality. 00:07:56.319 --> 00:07:57.959 I've brought this about in you. 00:07:59.139 --> 00:08:00.419 You're not what you used to be. 00:08:01.779 --> 00:08:02.319 In fact, 00:08:02.979 --> 00:08:04.899 the first half of Ephesians, 00:08:05.099 --> 00:08:05.839 we learn that God 00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:07.139 has eternally loved us. 00:08:07.139 --> 00:08:09.360 That God has radically changed us. 00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:11.479 That He's intentionally knit us 00:08:11.479 --> 00:08:13.959 to a body of believers. 00:08:14.560 --> 00:08:15.659 We belong now. 00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:17.620 It's who we are now. 00:08:17.939 --> 00:08:19.419 And you can sum up all this 00:08:19.419 --> 00:08:20.199 by saying this. 00:08:20.599 --> 00:08:22.319 We are new creations 00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:23.860 in Christ Jesus. 00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:26.439 We're not what we used to be. 00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:27.300 The old is gone. 00:08:27.379 --> 00:08:28.199 The new has come. 00:08:29.219 --> 00:08:30.120 We have a new nature. 00:08:30.120 --> 00:08:33.399 This is who you are now. 00:08:35.139 --> 00:08:36.840 Your former manner of life, 00:08:37.299 --> 00:08:38.620 which was the outworking 00:08:38.620 --> 00:08:39.960 of your old self, 00:08:40.960 --> 00:08:42.279 is no more. 00:08:42.960 --> 00:08:44.960 And so verses 17 through 19, 00:08:45.179 --> 00:08:47.279 we are reminded of what we used to be. 00:08:47.740 --> 00:08:49.220 That's not who you are anymore. 00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:52.000 And so now, Christian, 00:08:52.460 --> 00:08:54.340 you're no longer futile 00:08:54.340 --> 00:08:55.180 in your thinking. 00:08:55.179 --> 00:08:57.159 The substance of your thinking 00:08:57.159 --> 00:08:59.319 has to do with real truth in Jesus. 00:09:00.339 --> 00:09:02.299 You're no longer darkened 00:09:02.299 --> 00:09:03.579 in your understanding. 00:09:03.699 --> 00:09:05.500 The Holy Spirit's flipped the lights on. 00:09:06.459 --> 00:09:08.019 You're no longer alienated 00:09:08.019 --> 00:09:09.279 from the life of God. 00:09:09.659 --> 00:09:11.959 No, God has reconciled you 00:09:11.959 --> 00:09:13.379 to Himself through Christ, 00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:15.099 and now you have new life 00:09:15.099 --> 00:09:16.500 in Christ. 00:09:17.519 --> 00:09:18.839 You're no longer ignorant. 00:09:19.500 --> 00:09:20.359 Lights on. 00:09:20.459 --> 00:09:21.799 You see truth for what it is. 00:09:21.799 --> 00:09:24.299 You see Jesus for who He is now. 00:09:24.979 --> 00:09:26.120 Fully God, fully man. 00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:27.439 You understand what He's done 00:09:27.439 --> 00:09:28.079 on the cross. 00:09:28.379 --> 00:09:29.759 You understand what He's doing now, 00:09:29.939 --> 00:09:31.319 and you understand that one day 00:09:31.319 --> 00:09:32.159 He's coming back. 00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:34.099 He's going to make all things right. 00:09:37.259 --> 00:09:38.479 You're no longer 00:09:38.479 --> 00:09:42.879 the owner of a hardened heart. 00:09:44.620 --> 00:09:47.500 God has radically changed you. 00:09:47.779 --> 00:09:50.579 Ezekiel 36 is true of you, Christian. 00:09:50.859 --> 00:09:52.799 God pulled out your stony heart, 00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:54.500 and He stuck back in 00:09:54.500 --> 00:09:55.659 a fleshy heart, 00:09:55.939 --> 00:09:56.919 a soft heart, 00:09:57.199 --> 00:09:59.120 a heart that beats for God, 00:09:59.379 --> 00:10:01.139 new affections for Him. 00:10:01.199 --> 00:10:01.919 Now, this doesn't mean 00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:03.399 you have no longer desires, 00:10:04.179 --> 00:10:05.319 sinful desires, 00:10:05.699 --> 00:10:06.679 but what it does mean 00:10:06.679 --> 00:10:07.439 is now you have 00:10:07.439 --> 00:10:08.779 a new set of desires, 00:10:09.899 --> 00:10:11.839 a desire to live for God. 00:10:13.620 --> 00:10:15.479 Your old self is history. 00:10:16.479 --> 00:10:17.579 Your new self 00:10:17.580 --> 00:10:20.720 is the present reality. 00:10:22.040 --> 00:10:23.639 The old man is gone. 00:10:24.160 --> 00:10:25.379 The new man has come. 00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:26.860 Last week, 00:10:26.940 --> 00:10:28.940 I quoted from The Help 00:10:28.940 --> 00:10:31.320 and learned that it's not Abilene, 00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:32.440 but Abilene. 00:10:33.639 --> 00:10:34.560 Remember what she said? 00:10:34.860 --> 00:10:35.680 You is kind. 00:10:36.759 --> 00:10:37.700 You is smart. 00:10:38.860 --> 00:10:40.080 You is important. 00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:42.000 Christian, 00:10:42.440 --> 00:10:45.220 you are God's. 00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:47.780 You are alive. 00:10:49.080 --> 00:10:50.820 And you are holy. 00:10:51.740 --> 00:10:53.900 Created in the likeness of God. 00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:54.600 Think Jesus. 00:10:55.240 --> 00:10:57.540 Created in the likeness of God 00:10:57.540 --> 00:10:59.540 in true righteousness 00:10:59.540 --> 00:11:01.420 and holiness. 00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:03.580 You are the real thing, 00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:04.840 brother and sister in Christ. 00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:06.960 God's wrought a real work in you. 00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:12.200 And He has a new way 00:11:12.200 --> 00:11:14.280 for us to live now. 00:11:16.780 --> 00:11:19.019 In verses 22 through 24, 00:11:19.300 --> 00:11:20.500 Paul uses this language 00:11:20.500 --> 00:11:22.040 to put off and to put on. 00:11:22.420 --> 00:11:23.540 He's talking about clothing, 00:11:23.700 --> 00:11:24.240 believe it or not. 00:11:24.860 --> 00:11:25.360 He's saying, 00:11:25.480 --> 00:11:26.300 hey, the Christian life 00:11:26.300 --> 00:11:27.800 is like putting on new clothes 00:11:27.800 --> 00:11:29.340 every day of your life. 00:11:29.680 --> 00:11:31.100 You're putting on clothes 00:11:31.100 --> 00:11:32.460 that adorn the gospel. 00:11:32.639 --> 00:11:33.759 You're putting on clothes 00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:35.700 that look and smell like Jesus. 00:11:35.700 --> 00:11:36.940 That's who you are now. 00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:38.780 All this other stuff is gone. 00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:40.900 You don't put that on anymore. 00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:42.780 So we are to put off 00:11:42.780 --> 00:11:44.540 our old selfish ways 00:11:44.540 --> 00:11:46.600 that sprang from a hardened heart. 00:11:46.740 --> 00:11:47.500 That's gone. 00:11:48.019 --> 00:11:49.480 And what we're to do now is 00:11:49.480 --> 00:11:53.460 we're to put on new Christ-ish ways 00:11:53.460 --> 00:11:55.660 that spring from a heart 00:11:55.660 --> 00:11:57.560 that has been made new 00:11:57.560 --> 00:11:59.680 by God Himself. 00:11:59.679 --> 00:12:03.719 And here's what this means. 00:12:05.719 --> 00:12:07.559 We need to look at ourselves 00:12:07.559 --> 00:12:09.399 in the mirror of God's Word 00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:12.479 again and again and again. 00:12:13.319 --> 00:12:15.500 We forget who we are. 00:12:16.059 --> 00:12:18.179 We forget what God has done. 00:12:18.939 --> 00:12:19.739 We've got to remember 00:12:19.739 --> 00:12:20.739 God's speaking to us. 00:12:20.819 --> 00:12:21.559 You is mine. 00:12:22.239 --> 00:12:22.959 You is alive. 00:12:23.599 --> 00:12:24.559 You is holy. 00:12:24.719 --> 00:12:25.899 You is Christ-like. 00:12:25.899 --> 00:12:27.699 So we've got to glance 00:12:27.699 --> 00:12:28.419 in the mirror here. 00:12:28.500 --> 00:12:29.919 We've been reminded of who we are 00:12:29.919 --> 00:12:32.379 from verses 19 through 24. 00:12:32.679 --> 00:12:34.240 So now from the mirror 00:12:34.240 --> 00:12:37.419 we make our way to the closet 00:12:37.419 --> 00:12:40.120 because God has given us 00:12:40.120 --> 00:12:42.759 a brand new wardrobe in Christ. 00:12:43.939 --> 00:12:44.959 A new way to live. 00:12:45.340 --> 00:12:46.439 New clothes to wear. 00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:48.059 A new way of being. 00:12:48.059 --> 00:12:51.039 So now let's move 00:12:51.039 --> 00:12:53.859 from the mirror to the closet. 00:12:54.539 --> 00:12:57.339 Let me read Ephesians 4.25. 00:12:57.579 --> 00:13:00.059 Therefore, having put away falsehood, 00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:02.000 let each one of you speak the truth 00:13:02.000 --> 00:13:03.159 with his neighbor 00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:06.519 for we are members of one another. 00:13:06.659 --> 00:13:08.759 And so what lies before us 00:13:08.759 --> 00:13:11.399 in Ephesians 4.25 through 5.2 00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:12.839 is a wardrobe 00:13:12.839 --> 00:13:16.199 of things that are pleasing to God. 00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:18.480 Things that adorn the gospel. 00:13:19.080 --> 00:13:20.820 Things that God wants us 00:13:20.820 --> 00:13:23.460 to put on over and over again. 00:13:23.980 --> 00:13:25.300 Things that God wants us 00:13:25.300 --> 00:13:26.200 to characterize us. 00:13:26.940 --> 00:13:27.480 But you know what? 00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:28.379 First I want to notice. 00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:29.580 Did you notice the word 00:13:29.580 --> 00:13:31.120 therefore in verse 25? 00:13:31.820 --> 00:13:32.879 Tell me if you know this song. 00:13:34.700 --> 00:13:35.820 Conjunction, junction, 00:13:36.360 --> 00:13:38.520 what's your function? 00:13:40.420 --> 00:13:42.160 Hooking up words, 00:13:42.680 --> 00:13:44.180 phrases, and clauses. 00:13:44.180 --> 00:13:45.120 Anybody know that one? 00:13:46.200 --> 00:13:47.100 Sing with me. 00:13:48.180 --> 00:13:49.440 Conjunction, junction, 00:13:49.960 --> 00:13:51.920 what's your function? 00:13:52.140 --> 00:13:53.160 Okay, a conjunction 00:13:53.160 --> 00:13:54.960 makes connections. 00:13:55.800 --> 00:13:56.620 The word therefore 00:13:56.620 --> 00:13:58.820 is making a connection. 00:13:59.540 --> 00:14:00.560 The Apostle Paul 00:14:00.560 --> 00:14:01.620 is moving from 00:14:01.620 --> 00:14:03.879 our new nature in Christ 00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:08.440 to our new practice in Christ. 00:14:08.860 --> 00:14:10.460 That's what the therefore 00:14:10.460 --> 00:14:11.800 is there for. 00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:13.299 He's making a connection 00:14:13.299 --> 00:14:14.439 between who we are 00:14:14.439 --> 00:14:17.019 and how we are to live. 00:14:18.259 --> 00:14:19.039 And so we're moving 00:14:19.039 --> 00:14:21.019 from who we are nature 00:14:21.019 --> 00:14:23.359 to our practice. 00:14:23.719 --> 00:14:24.620 And in verse 25, 00:14:25.019 --> 00:14:26.019 Paul is making this 00:14:26.019 --> 00:14:27.399 specific connection 00:14:27.399 --> 00:14:29.019 between who we are in Christ 00:14:29.019 --> 00:14:31.319 and what we say. 00:14:32.599 --> 00:14:34.199 How we speak. 00:14:35.259 --> 00:14:37.359 What comes out of our mouth. 00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:38.440 Therefore, 00:14:38.639 --> 00:14:40.240 having put away falsehood, 00:14:41.180 --> 00:14:42.240 let each one of you 00:14:42.240 --> 00:14:43.759 speak the truth 00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:44.919 with his neighbor. 00:14:46.980 --> 00:14:49.240 So God has purchased us 00:14:49.240 --> 00:14:51.399 a whole new wardrobe. 00:14:51.399 --> 00:14:54.259 So imagine, 00:14:54.819 --> 00:14:57.059 you open up the door 00:14:57.059 --> 00:14:58.620 of your new 00:14:58.620 --> 00:15:00.740 Christian clothes closet. 00:15:01.799 --> 00:15:03.120 You're standing in front 00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:05.259 of this new wardrobe 00:15:05.259 --> 00:15:06.379 that God, 00:15:06.899 --> 00:15:07.419 your Father, 00:15:07.500 --> 00:15:08.600 has purchased for you 00:15:08.600 --> 00:15:09.500 with the blood of Jesus. 00:15:11.139 --> 00:15:13.399 Now hanging on that closet rod 00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:14.840 are a variety 00:15:14.840 --> 00:15:16.100 of righteous 00:15:16.100 --> 00:15:17.860 and holy clothes. 00:15:18.539 --> 00:15:19.340 And we're to be putting 00:15:19.340 --> 00:15:20.879 these on every day. 00:15:21.399 --> 00:15:22.779 This is what's to be true 00:15:22.779 --> 00:15:24.259 of us day after day. 00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:26.480 Now if you get real close 00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:29.819 to these vestments 00:15:29.819 --> 00:15:31.919 hanging on this closet rod 00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:33.079 and you get real close 00:15:33.079 --> 00:15:33.480 and you're like, 00:15:33.720 --> 00:15:36.899 take a deep smell, 00:15:38.059 --> 00:15:39.299 you're going to smell Jesus. 00:15:40.919 --> 00:15:43.879 This is Christ-like behavior. 00:15:45.179 --> 00:15:47.240 This is what he's purchased us for. 00:15:47.879 --> 00:15:49.039 To be like him. 00:15:49.039 --> 00:15:49.459 And so, 00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:51.120 today we're going to look 00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:51.980 at true speech 00:15:51.980 --> 00:15:53.519 in verse 25. 00:15:54.339 --> 00:15:55.219 Next week we're going 00:15:55.219 --> 00:15:57.019 to look at anger. 00:15:58.039 --> 00:15:59.240 How not to sin 00:15:59.240 --> 00:16:00.839 in your anger 00:16:00.839 --> 00:16:02.539 and to be Christ-like. 00:16:03.019 --> 00:16:04.059 Then we're going to move on 00:16:04.059 --> 00:16:04.919 to honest work 00:16:04.919 --> 00:16:06.219 and then gracious speech 00:16:06.219 --> 00:16:07.699 and then what it looks like 00:16:07.699 --> 00:16:08.599 to have a posture 00:16:08.599 --> 00:16:09.480 of pleasing God 00:16:09.480 --> 00:16:10.419 and not grieving God. 00:16:10.620 --> 00:16:11.519 And then what it looks like 00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:12.360 to live at peace 00:16:12.360 --> 00:16:13.159 with one another 00:16:13.159 --> 00:16:14.399 just like Christ did 00:16:14.399 --> 00:16:15.360 with us. 00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:16.779 And of course we'll wrap up 00:16:16.779 --> 00:16:17.879 by looking at what it means 00:16:17.879 --> 00:16:18.700 to walk in love 00:16:18.700 --> 00:16:19.159 with one another. 00:16:20.360 --> 00:16:22.560 These are Christ-like clothes. 00:16:22.680 --> 00:16:23.560 It's quite the wardrobe. 00:16:25.279 --> 00:16:27.300 And for us who are dead in sin 00:16:27.300 --> 00:16:28.740 and now alive in Christ, 00:16:29.279 --> 00:16:30.460 it's time to get dressed. 00:16:31.500 --> 00:16:32.259 It's time to put 00:16:32.259 --> 00:16:33.080 the right stuff on. 00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:35.259 It's time to live our lives 00:16:35.259 --> 00:16:36.580 in a way that's pleasing to God. 00:16:37.500 --> 00:16:38.279 And so this morning, 00:16:38.360 --> 00:16:38.919 like I said, 00:16:38.960 --> 00:16:39.659 we're going to focus 00:16:39.659 --> 00:16:40.659 on verse 25. 00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:42.440 Put off falsehood. 00:16:42.440 --> 00:16:44.280 Speak the truth 00:16:44.280 --> 00:16:45.060 with his neighbor. 00:16:45.480 --> 00:16:46.980 Now, back to the closet. 00:16:48.680 --> 00:16:49.620 As you're looking 00:16:49.620 --> 00:16:51.140 at these lovely clothes, 00:16:51.660 --> 00:16:52.560 freshly purchased, 00:16:53.440 --> 00:16:54.200 you noticed 00:16:54.200 --> 00:16:56.420 balled up in the corner 00:16:56.420 --> 00:16:57.680 on the ground 00:16:57.680 --> 00:16:59.060 what appears to be 00:16:59.060 --> 00:17:00.200 some kind of 00:17:00.200 --> 00:17:02.100 old T-shirt. 00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:04.620 And of course, 00:17:05.519 --> 00:17:06.200 you do 00:17:06.200 --> 00:17:08.559 what any other human being does 00:17:08.559 --> 00:17:09.740 when they find 00:17:09.740 --> 00:17:11.039 a balled up T-shirt 00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:12.299 in the corner of a closet. 00:17:12.440 --> 00:17:12.860 What do you do? 00:17:13.580 --> 00:17:14.880 You give it the sniff test. 00:17:17.100 --> 00:17:18.380 What does this smell like? 00:17:19.820 --> 00:17:20.779 And what you find 00:17:20.779 --> 00:17:21.620 is that this 00:17:21.620 --> 00:17:22.500 T-shirt 00:17:22.500 --> 00:17:24.039 reeks. 00:17:25.920 --> 00:17:27.120 It stinks. 00:17:28.640 --> 00:17:29.580 It's putrid. 00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:31.279 And yet, 00:17:31.340 --> 00:17:32.299 at the same time, 00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:34.880 this T-shirt 00:17:34.880 --> 00:17:36.960 is strangely familiar. 00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:39.759 You've worn 00:17:39.759 --> 00:17:40.480
