How do we change our conduct? Ephesians 4:20–24 prepares us for the morning sermon in public worship on the coming Lord's Day. In these three verses of Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us that we put on the new man by learning Christ. The devotional explores the transformative process of sanctification described in Ephesians 4, emphasizing that believers are called to put off the old self and put on the new man created in righteousness and holiness. It reasons that this renewal is not achieved through human effort alone but through hearing and being taught by Christ, Who addresses His church through the preaching of the Word. The central theme is that the truth of Scripture is found in Jesus, and it is through the Spirit's work in this teaching that believers are united to Christ and conformed to Him. Pastor highlights the importance of viewing the public ministry of the Word as a direct encounter with Christ, rather than merely receiving human instruction. This perspective shifts the focus from personal weakness to the active, ongoing work of Christ in shaping the believer's thoughts, affections, and will toward glory.

The sermon examines the complex relationship between the Renaissance and the Protestant Reformation, arguing that while the former provided essential intellectual and technological preparation, it ultimately fell short of the latter's spiritual depth. It highlights how Renaissance humanism, through the recovery of Greek and Hebrew texts and the invention of movable type, created the conditions for biblical scholarship and the spread of Reformation ideas. The discussion contrasts the Erasmian view that human ignorance is the primary problem, solvable through education, with the Lutheran conviction that human sin is the root issue, requiring justification by faith alone. By analyzing the works of Desiderius Erasmus and Martin Luther, the presentation demonstrates that the Reformation succeeded where the Renaissance failed by addressing the doctrinal and spiritual needs of the church rather than merely its cultural or moral corruption. The sermon concludes by emphasizing that true revival requires a transformation of the heart through the Gospel, not just an elevation of human knowledge.
