This study on Ephesians 4:17–24 presents Paul’s three-step process for sanctification: putting off the old self, renewing the mind, and putting on the new self. It addresses the apparent contradiction between this process and the biblical truth that a believer is a “new creature” in Christ. The study explains that while salvation is a one-time event that breaks sin’s power, sanctification is the lifelong process of living out that new identity. This process is powered by the Holy Spirit, who enables believers to combat the remnants of their sinful nature and live a life of increasing righteousness.
