Not to live in Vanity of Gentiles mind

note: the final 1/4 of the sermon was not recorded, but the outline for this portion was as follows:

Romans 1:16; 2 Cor. 3:18 – both justification and sanctification are a result by hearing with faith. In other words, all transformation requires gospel proclamation.

1. Conversion/Regeneration

• rom. 8:7
• eze. 36:22-29a (cf. eph. 1:13-14)
• 1 tim. 2:4; 2 tim. 2:25

2. Sanctification

• tit. 1:1
• eph. 4:24 (NET) - "holiness & righteousness that flow from the truth"
• psa. 19:6ff.
• psa. 119

application - "redeem the time" by "walking not as unwise, but as wise".

• disciplined Bible saturation (reading & memorization & meditation).
• requires a community of "truthers in love".
