Seven observable outward expressions of inward gospel change that should be happening in the lives of a Christ follower:

1. Filling with the Spirit - 4:8

2. Message centered on the Resurrected life in Jesus - 4:10-12

3. Obedience to their Commission - 4:13-20

4. Unity in the Spirit - 4:21-32

5. Power in the Spirit - 4:33

6. Compassion in action - 4:34

7. Surrender to spiritual authority - 4:35

 

How does gospel change happen?

I. The Hope of Righteousness - Romans 1:16

II. The Process of Repentance - 2 Corinthians 3:18

III. The Focus of Renewal - Mark 7:14-23

 

Application questions:

Do we see most of the change in our life as outward change or inward change?

How does beholding the glory of Jesus in the gospel change us?

When we are changed and begin to value the things Jesus values, some difficult decisions will have to be made. What are they for us collectively? for you personally?
