Today’s Devotion
Topic: Christian Values & Practices! (Part 8)
Self Assessment (238)
Background: We have been studying Ephesians 4 for some weeks now. Last week we tried to understand what it means, practically, to be made new in the attitude of our minds so that we can project the new self
created to be like God in true righteousness. Today we will be looking a little deeper into such.
Kindly call the family together. It is time to study the Word.
Text: Ephesians 4: 29-32
29 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. 30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 31 Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. 32 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. Amen!
