Big Idea:
Practice the renewed self.

1. Remembering who you are

God's chosen ones, holy and beloved

2. Putting to death distorted sexuality.

— sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.

“There is not one personal transformation in which the heart is left without an object of ultimate beauty and joy. The heart’s desire for one particular object can be conquered… but its desire to have some object is unconquerable. The only way to dispossess the heart of an old affection is by the expulsive power of a new one.”
— Thomas Chalmers

3. Putting off dishonoring speech.

PRACTICE THE RENEWED SELF.

4. Putting On Love.
