Ephesians 4:20 Cross References

Ephesians 4:20

20: But that isn't what you were taught when you learned about Christ.

As it is written in the Scriptures, 'They will all be taught by God.' Everyone who hears and learns from the Father comes to me.

For the grace of God has been revealed, bringing salvation to all people.
And we are instructed to turn from godless living and sinful pleasures. We should live in this evil world with self-control, right conduct, and devotion to God,
while we look forward to that wonderful event when the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, will be revealed.
He gave his life to free us from every kind of sin, to cleanse us, and to make us his very own people, totally committed to doing what is right.

Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle, and you will find rest for your souls.

But you have received the Holy Spirit, and he lives within you, so you don't need anyone to teach you what is true. For the Spirit teaches you all things, and what he teaches is true--it is not a lie. So continue in what he has taught you, and continue to live in Christ.

Well then, should we keep on sinning so that God can show us more and more kindness and forgiveness?
Of course not! Since we have died to sin, how can we continue to live in it?

Whatever we do, it is because Christ's love controls us. Since we believe that Christ died for everyone, we also believe that we have all died to the old life we used to live.
He died for everyone so that those who receive his new life will no longer live to please themselves. Instead, they will live to please Christ, who died and was raised for them.

With my authority, take this message of repentance to all the nations, beginning in Jerusalem: 'There is forgiveness of sins for all who turn to me.'
