Putting off Sin, Putting on Christ

ABOUT THE MESSAGE: Paul is equally bold in proclaiming the fullness of the gospel that already belongs to those who are in Christ and in calling on those who are in Christ to pursue holiness relentlessly. For Paul, the glorious grace of God is not a license to abandon Christ’s commands but is rather the foundation for a rigorous and disciplined life. In this lesson, Dr. Ferguson will examine Paul’s dual exhortations for Christians to put off sin and put on Christ.

ABOUT THE SERIES: What does it mean to be a Christian? Common answers to this question can be contradictory and confusing. Is Christianity simply an ethical system or a set of doctrinal beliefs? In Union with Christ, Dr. Sinclair Ferguson surveys one of the Apostle Paul’s favorite phrases to describe the essence of the Christian life: being “in Christ.” This twelve-part teaching series explores what it means to be “in Christ” and how these two simple words can reshape our entire existence.
