*Thomas** S. Myers*
*A Lifestyle That Honors God*
*Ephesians 4:25-32*
FIND NOTES ON EPH 4:17.
The story is told of a little boy who went to the funeral of an atheist.
There in the coffin was the man who professed not to believe in God, and, of course, God's heaven.
The little boy studied the well-dressed, lifeless figure for a few moments and said, “What a shame.
All dressed up and no place to go.”
Well, Christians are certainly not “all dressed up with no place to go.”
There is a good reason why we have “put on the new self.”
We are now to begin to live in a new way.
Paul turns for his case from upright living to the character of upright living.
Here he details the areas of restored responsibility.
ILLUSTRATION OF EXCHANGE
TRANSFORMATION
*FIRST -- EXAHANGE LYING FOR SPEAKING THE TRUTH.**
*
*Ephesians 4:25** *
*25 **Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
(KJV)*
The devil is the originator of all lies.
And when you lie you are acting just like the devil.
You are never more like the devil when you are telling a lie.
And you are never more unlike Jesus Christ, the faithful and true witness when you
are bearing true witness.
Think about this for a minute.
What is the very first thing that you see the devil doing in the Bible?
In Genesis 3:1 the very first act that the devil is seen doing is slandering the truth of God.
Take a good look at it in Genesis 3:1 and notice what the devil does.
*Genesis 3:4** *
*4** **"You will not surely die," the serpent said to the woman.
(NIV)*
*SECOND -- THE FAMILY OF FALSE WITNESS.*
Who is in this family of false witnesses?
*A.
THE PURGER.*
* *The purgerer is a person who DEF
*Exodus 23:1-2** *
*1** **"Do not spread false reports.
Do not help a wicked man by being a malicious witness. 2 "Do not follow the crowd in doing wrong.
When you give testimony in a lawsuit, do not pervert justice by siding with the crowd, (NIV)*
Now what does that mean?
When you stand in a court of law and you swear to tell the whole truth and nothing about the truth and you lie, the wrath of all mighty God is upon you.
I want you to know that there is another court coming, when the grave will give up their moaning, schricking, groaning dead and they will stand one by one in single file before almighty God and be judged.
*B.
THE RUMOR MONGER.**
*
* *The person who spreads rumors is among the family of the devil.
Did you know they used rumors to crucify Jesus?
It was rumored that Jesus planned to destroy the temple.
I heard someone say, "Pastor, It's not me who starts all these rumors, it's the people I tell them to."
Maybe that is you.
A small town news paper had section that listed who went to the hospital.
The paper said, "Gladys went to the hospital for the removal of a rumor."
Now it was a misprint, but I wish there was such a hospital.
I heard of a church that recently hired a new youth pastor.
The congregation did not really know him that well.
Word had circulated around the church that he forced his wife to leave the church in tears.
He knew he had to address the problem.
Finally he said in the morning service, "I have heard this rumor and I have 4 things to say about it.
First, I never interfere with the choice of my wife.
She may attend whatever service she wishes.
Second, my wife did not even attend the service in question.
Third, I was not at the meeting in question.
And fourth, I do not have a wife.
It's easy to get rumors started, but it's even harder to stop a rumor.
*C.
THE FLATTERER.**
*
The flatterer is the person who used insincencere flattery.
*Proverbs 26:28** *
*28 **A** lying tongue hates those it hurts, and a flattering mouth works ruin.
(NIV)*
* *
Notice that from Proverbs 26:28 that God list flatterer with ling.
You see the flatterer wishes to use people.
They make merchandise of people.
They are not really trying to praise or flatter you.
Now there is nothing wrong with giving honor.
The Bible says,
BIBLE VERSE.
GIVE HONOR TO WHO HONOR IS DUE
*D.
THE INSINULATOR.*
Look at* 2 Corinthians 12:20** *and notice the word "gossip" (NIV), "whisperings " (KJV).
*20 **For I am afraid that when I come I may not find you as I want you to be, and you may not find me as you want me to be.
I fear that there may be quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, factions, slander, gossip, arrogance and disorder.
(NIV)*
The Greek word for "gossip" means secret slandering.
Did you know that Jesus Christ had to face secret slanders all his life.
Notice in John 8:41 the insuation of the Pharisees.
*John** 8:41** *
*41 **You are doing the things your own father does."
"We are not illegitimate children," they protested.
"The only Father we have is God himself."
(NIV)*
Do you see the insinuation?
They are saying , "We know who our father is, but you don't know who your father is."
They were inferring that Jesus was the illagetament son of Mary.
They said it with an insinulaltiohn.
You can lie with the one of your voice.
You can lie with the arching of your eye brows.
You can
lie with the way you word your words.
