  3. As the Truth is in Jesus • How is the truth in Jesus? • His Example, 1 Peter 2:21-25, John 13:15 • His teachings • While most had not seen Him, they could learn about Him and from Him

  4. As the Truth is in Jesus • The teaching of Jesus • The Master Teacher, Matthew 7:29, cf. John 7:46 • His parables, dealing with conflict and error, His defense, His instruction to His disciples, His message of salvation

  5. As the Truth is in Jesus • The teaching of Jesus • He is the truth John 14:6 • Matthew 11:28-30, “learn from Me…” • John 8:31-32, the truth makes you free • In Him we find the standard of unity

  6. When we are in Christ • We put off our former conduct • We must change! Romans 6:2-6 • Galatians 5:24, 6:14, Colossians 3:9 - we crucify the old man & evil deeds • We quit practicing sinful behavior Romans 13:12, Colossians 3:5-9, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, 1 John 3:6-7, 9

  7. When we are in Christ • We put off our former conduct • There is a cost (surrender) in becoming a child of God Matthew 19:21-22, Luke 9:23-25 • Are you different now? Cf. 1 Peter 4:3-4

  8. When we are in Christ • We put off our former conduct • The old man grows corrupt according to deceitful lusts • He craves deceitful desires • Deceit – it lies to you! Hebrews 3:13, Colossians 2:8, Mark 7:22 • Matthew 6:24

  9. When we are in Christ • We are renewed in our mind • A new mindset • We need that “came to himself” moment (cf. Luke 15:17) • We surrender! Colossians 3:10

  10. When we are in Christ • We are renewed in our mind • Renewal – becoming reestablished in a new and improved state • Romans 12:1-2Colossians 3:1-22 Corinthians 10:4-5, bringing every thought into captivity

  11. When we are in Christ • We put on the new man • When you remove former conduct, it must be replaced with something godly • Matthew 12:43-45 • This is understood in dealing with addictions

  12. When we are in Christ • We put on the new man • Spiritually – because former desires still have their appeal, we must replace them with something productive • Put on: Rom. 13:12, Eph. 6:11 – armorRom. 13:14, Gal. 3:27 – the LordCol. 3:10-11 – the new manCol. 3:12-13 – godly attitudes

  13. When we are in Christ • We put on the new man • New – something previously unseen. I.e. What we are not is different than before
