Soul Arithmetic

In Ephesians 4:17-24 Paul continues to explore the implications of Christ's work and blessings. This time, the corporate implications give way to a more personal, individual message. The culmination is in verse 24 where he describes the equation for authentic Christianity: "and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness." (ESV) Breaking down the passage into a couple of "equations" provides a memory device: Soul Arithmetic

Good presuppositions + Good logic → Good conclusions

Bad thinking + Bad walking (habits) → Bad Practice

[(Good teaching – Bad Habits) + Renewed “in the Spirit of your minds”] + Good Habits → Authentic Christianity
