A short Bible study on destroying our old sin nature
Originally presented as a sermon: Five Ways to Kill Your Old Man
By Rev. Herman Sieder
1 John 2:15-17
Deal Completely With Sin
Ananias and Sapphira (Acts 5:1-11)
Elijah (James 5:16-18)
If we confess our sins (1 John 1:8-10)
Jesus (Luke 14:31) Count the cost
Do not let sin fester.
Never Own Anything
Isaac (Genesis 26:19-24)
Elijah and the widow (1 Kings 17:7ff)
Jesus (Luke 12:32-34)
We are stewards of what God has given us.
Never Defend Yourself
Jesus (Mark 15:3-5) He did not open his mouth
Paul (2 Corinthians 10:1-12:21)
Jesus (Matthew 5:38-42) Go two miles
Hezekiah (Isaiah 37:36) 185,000 Assyrians
Let God defend you.
Do Not Speak Evil of Others
False teachers slander others (Jude 8-10)
Go personally first (Matthew 18:15-17)
Jesus (Mathew 7:1-6) You will be judged with the measure you use
Build others up.
Do Not Accept Glory
Herod (Acts 12:19b-23)
Gahazi (2 Kings 5:15ff, esp. v. 26)
Jesus (Luke 17:7) We are unworthy
Give God the glory.
Romans 8
