Love is more than a feeling—it is the defining mark of the new life we have in Christ. In Ephesians 5:1–7, Paul calls believers to imitate Jesus in every facet of life, walking in the same selfless, sacrificial love that Christ has shown us. In The New Life in Love, Pastor JC Cooper unpacks what it means to experience Christ’s love and then allow that love to shape the way we live. The love of Jesus is forgiving and sacrificial, edifying toward others, inseparable and eternal, and powerful enough to produce godly character in us. Our capacity to walk in love is dependent upon first experiencing Christ’s love for us. This new life also means leaving behind the desires and behaviors that contradict our identity in Christ. Pastor JC warns against six destructive vices—including sexual immorality, impurity, greed, and corrupt speech—and shows why Christ-centered gratitude is a powerful weapon against carnal passions. Instead of empty words that excuse sin and distract us from Christ’s return, we are called to live with eternity in view. Listen in as Pastor JC encourages us to imitate Jesus, partner with others who are walking in God’s love, and live out the new identity Christ has given us.

 

We all long to belong. We search for identity, significance, and happiness in relationships, possessions, titles, success, pleasure, and the people or things we associate ourselves with. Yet we were created to find our identity in God. Apart from Him, we are left searching for something in this world that can never sustain the soul—always believing happiness is just around the corner. In The New Life in Christ, Pastor David Menard takes us into Ephesians 4:17–24 and challenges us to understand that salvation is far more than improving our behavior—it is becoming a new creation in Christ. Paul doesn't begin by describing what an unbeliever does; he reveals why they live the way they do. Apart from Jesus, our hearts and minds are alienated from God. Pastor David unpacks the six plagues of life apart from Christ and shows why the deepest problem facing humanity isn't merely physical, cultural, or circumstantial—it is spiritual. But Jesus changes everything. He is the initiator; we simply respond to His love. Salvation in Christ produces a new person, and from that new identity we participate in the ongoing work of sanctification. Paul illustrates this transformation with the imagery of changing a wardrobe: put off the old man, be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and put on the new man created according to God in righteousness and holiness. This new life also transforms the way we walk together as the Church—united in faith through sound biblical doctrine, growing in an in-depth knowledge of Jesus, reflecting the character of Christ, standing firm against deceptive ideologies, and maturing into people who speak the truth in love. Listen in today to allow God's Word to renew your minds and participate in the work He is doing within you. Jesus doesn't merely improve the old life—He gives us an entirely new one.

But through faith in Christ, we are reconciled to God, forgiven of our sins, and brought into a relationship of peace with Him.

Through one of Scripture’s most dramatic contrasts, we see how we were spiritually dead, enslaved by sin, and separated from God—yet rescued by His rich mercy, great love, and amazing grace.
