INTRO: What a wonderful book is the Bible. What tremendous revelations in the Word of God. God has chosen that the just shall live by faith. He created the universe and then gave man every piece of evidence necessary, and a lot more than necessary, to teach Him that there is a God.
I mentioned in the last message a matter regarding the outline of our present study. I had listed all the things the Christian is to put off and put on in verses 25-31. I had not noted originally in doing so, that there seems to be a slight change between verses 25-29 and 30-32. We have a few, crucial, sinful issues mentioned in verses 25-29. There is lying, sinning in anger, stealing and corrupt communication. All are very prevalent sins.
Then in verses 30-32 there is a shift in thought. We still have the idea of putting something off and another on, but we have the subject of grieving the Holy Spirit. It is important to note this change. For example, and we will look at it later, but in verse 26 we are told to be angry and not sin. It does not say we are not to get angry. Then in verse 31 it says we are to put away all anger and wrath. How do those verses work together, or do they? Well, we will look at that later, but it seems to me that seeing the change in verse 30 will help to answer that question.
