Transforming Resolutions: Ephesians 4:17-24 and the Journey of Change

Every New Year, 45% of Americans make resolutions, yet only 8% succeed, with many faltering by January 7th. Ephesians 4:17-24 offers profound insights into transformation; it speaks to the futility of our thinking without Christ. Before knowing Jesus, our hearts become callous, lost in sin. Paul reminds us that moral living isn’t just an addition; it’s the essence of who we are. It calls for a deep, heartfelt change: cast off the old self and embrace the new. Join us in exploring how real transformation requires both knowledge and love for God.
