Reflection Questions

1. The Apostle Paul uses the analogy of clothing to describe spiritual transformation. How does this imagery help us understand the change that happens when we follow Christ?

2. What does Paul mean when he says Gentiles walk in “the futility of their minds” and how does this contrast with the renewed mind of a believer? How can we intentionally renew our minds daily?

3. How does surrounding ourselves with strong Christian community help us put on the new self? In what ways does church fellowship and discipleship play a role?

4. The Apostle Paul reminds us that our identity is no longer tied to the world’s standards but to Christ. How does knowing your identity in Jesus reshape the way you live? Why is it important to understand that transformation comes through Christ rather than just behavior modification?
