In “Living As Children Of The Light”, Rodney shares that in the fourth chapter of Ephesians, the apostle Paul contrasts the difference between how Gentiles, and Christ-followers should live. The life of a believer, in Christ, should be distinctly different than those living apart from Christ. Because the Unbelievers are not “in Christ” their minds are not in the process of transformation. Therefore, they do not think or understand truth, nor can they act in truth or righteously. They are hopelessly confused. Therefore, they make unwise life choices. They never make the connection between their sin, behavior, and the consequences, and the right solution or answer. We live in a world and culture that tells us to avoid calling things shameful. Yet, apart from Christ we ALL are shameful. Our tendency is to lessen the absolute grossness of sin. Our sin is putrid, poisonous, and deadly. But, as a Christian, as Paul said, we “throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception. Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. Put on your new nature, created to be like God—truly righteous and holy.” This change every believer experiences, living in Christ, leads us to practice our faith and live differently than the rest of the world.
