Ephesians Bible Study Part 6: Identity Determines Activity

Ephesians Bible Study Part 6: Identity Determines Activity

Author: Dale Partridge January 21, 2022 Duration: 39:40
In Matthew 7:16-17, Jesus teaches us that identity determines activity. He says, “You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes, nor figs from thistles, are they? So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit.” In this session, pastor Dale Partridge covers Ephesians 4:17-24 and explains how the Apostle Paul demonstrates this same truth in a different way. In short, as Christians, we are to walk in a manner that represents our identity and our activity should reveal our identity. We are to put off the old self and put on the new self. We are to crucify the flesh and put on Christ.

Dale Partridge sits down each week to tackle the complex questions that often linger in the minds of believers, moving beyond simple platitudes to explore the substance of faith. In Real Christianity, these aren't abstract debates; they're grounded, practical discussions addressing the theological puzzles and real-life pastoral situations that people actually face. Every episode is a concise, focused conversation, typically wrapping up in ten to fifteen minutes, making it a thoughtful companion for a daily commute or a quiet moment of reflection. You'll hear Dale draw from scripture and lived experience to provide clarity on topics that can feel confusing or overwhelming, all with the aim of making faith feel more accessible and deeply rooted. This podcast cuts through the noise, offering a space where curiosity meets conviction, and where difficult questions are met with thoughtful, biblically-informed perspectives. It’s for anyone seeking a more authentic and understood spiritual life, one honest conversation at a time.
