Stop Living Like the World (God Demands a New You) | Ephesians 4:17-24

The Bible doesn't call you to clean up your act — it calls you to become a completely different person. In Ephesians 4:17-24, the Apostle Paul draws a hard line between the way the world lives and the way a true follower of Jesus must live. This isn't optional advice. It's a divine command. In this message from Restored Man Ministries, Juan unpacks what it means to put off the old man, renew your mind, and put on the new man — and why so many Christians are still living like they were never saved. 📍 TIMESTAMPS 0:00 – Welcome & Scripture Reading (Ephesians 4:17-24) 2:10 – Opening Prayer 3:45 – What Is the "Old Man"?
