By inspiration of the Holy Spirit, the apostle Paul shows us that to live a victorious Christian life is not enough to leave bad habits of our past life, it is also necessary to fill that empty space with new and good things come from God.
Introduction.
A bad habit is anything that harms us physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, ourselves and others. Thus it is something that inhibits our growth and displeasing to God. The apostle in this text mentions such things as vanity, obstinacy, sexual impurity, lewdness, lying, anger, theft, bad words, bitterness, anger, brawling, slander and malice.
I- WHY ARE YOU USING THE PRINCIPLE OF REPLACEMENT.
a) Because we are called to live a different and new (v.17-21, Romans 6:4, 1 Corinthians 5:17).
b) practice because of these bad habits create a monster called "body of death" because everything we do leads to physical and spiritual death (Romans 7:24). Even to practice things automatically and without even being aware of what we do.
c) Because God requires of us holiness (1 Peter 1:15,16, Hebrews 12:14).
d) For those who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God (Galatians 5:19-21)
II- ARE THE THINGS YOU NEED TO REPLACE
a) Lying with the truth (v25)
b) The silent rage of conciliatory dialogue (v.26)
) theft of honest work and sharing (v28).
d) Poor uplifting words for words. (V.29)
e) The bitterness, anger, anger, shouting, libel and slander by kindness, consideration and forgiveness in Christ (Ephesians 4:31,32).
f) The evil deeds with good deeds (Isaiah 1:16-18).
III- LAUNCHES AS THE BEGINNING OF THE REPLACEMENT
to ) First is good to have a correct understanding that an empty mind is a workshop for the devil and a room for demons (Matthew 12:46-50).
b) must be shed through repentance and confession of the old man (the body of death) that is flawed. renew our way of thinking (the spirit of your mind V.23) and dress the new man (That's the whole process).
c) starts changing our thinking (Romans 8:5-8 & Philippians 4:8).
d) Thinking have good results in good wishes and feelings (Ephesians 4:32).
e) To think well and we will become a good way to do (Jeremiah 17:10, Proverbs 23:7, Psalms 119:11 ... in my heart I have hidden your these might not sin against you "
CONCLUSIONS.
1 - A habit is an act we have repeated many times and that automatically incorporates our conduct by refusing to come out easily. It is necessary to identify and be aware of the damage caused
2 - These may be sins of the spirit as greed, envy, resentment, jealousy, gossip, criticism, selfishness, impatience, bad debts, the complaint, backbiting, vanity, etc.
3 - compulsive acts can be treated as using drugged, gambling, overeating, drinking, overspending, shopping shopping (consumerism), overwork, fantasizing sinful things.
4 - We need to remember that we are called to new life. Good fruit God expects of us, because we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works ... (Ephesians 2:10).
5 - Keep your mind comes from the word of Christ (Colossians 3:16).
6 - If you fall do not give up, get up, apologize and move on (1 John 1:7-9).
7 - not diverge from that of a true heart invoke Christ (blotch stays on if you're with others.)
8 - Remember the lame walking with a limp ending (1 Corinthians 15:33). Leave the bad companies
9 - Think about what you're thinking. If your internal dialogue you continuously charged and disqualified, this will not help. Force yourself to think good things (Philippians 4:8)
10 - God has created with free will. You're not a robot programmed. You can change your life if you wish, if he proposes it wholeheartedly, he enlists the help of God (Psalm 51:10) and works diligently. I can do everything through Christ who strengthens me (Philippians 4:13)
