Ephesians

Third Day: Review Ephesians 4:17-24, concentrating on verses 18-19.

1. a. In Ephesians 4:17 Paul used the term “Gentiles” to refer to those without Christ. Describe these people from Ephesians 4:18a.

b. Why are they like this? (Ephesians 4:18b)

2. What do you learn about people like this from Romans 1:21-23?

3. From Ephesians 4:19, what is the result of being separated from Christ?

4. How does Romans 1:28-32 describe this result?

5. Personal: Notice that the last part of Ephesians 4:19 tells us that those who are separated from God have “a continual lust for more.” Have you noticed that sin never gives permanent satisfaction, just a downward spiral seeking more? Can you think of some examples from the society around you? Can you think of examples from your own life? Have you discovered how satisfying it is to know God and walk in His ways? (See Romans 12:2.)
