Questions for Reflection
Read Ephesians 4:17-24
- How does this passage fit into the context of the book of Ephesians? More specifically, how do Ephesians 2:11-18 and 4:1-6 lay the groundwork for what we read here in 4:17-24
- How does Paul characterize the Ephesians’ old way of life, the “old self,” in 4:17-19? Which of these traits do you recognize from your own “old self”?
- What are the three things Paul says we were taught in vs. 22-24? What does it mean to “put off the old self” and to “put on the new self?” What has this transformation looked like in your own life?
- What does this passage teach us about how to live together in the Family of God?
- Paul says in vs 23 that we are “to be made new in the attitude of our minds,” called to be in a constant state of change and growth. What are some of the things you are learning about yourself, God, and community in this season? What are some of the unhealthy attitudes/behaviors/worldviews you are unlearning in this season?
