Paul instructs his readers to put on the knowledge of who Christ is and what Christ has done.

Divisions of the Text:

2. Christ Redeems (vv. 18-20)

Quote by Warren Wiersbe:

“When it comes to creation, Jesus is the primary cause (He planned it), the instrumental cause (He produced it), and the final cause (He did it for His own pleasure).”

Application Questions:

So Ask yourself:

1. Do I have hope in my future with Christ?

2. Where in my life am I giving ground to the enemy?

3. What changes do I need to make in my life to live for Christ in all that I say and all that I do?

4. What would change in my life if I put off bad habits and put on good habits instead?
