-Can you tell the difference between the way you used to be before you knew Christ and the way you are afterward? What is different?
-In verse 3 he talks about the way we used to be - foolish, disobedient, enslaved by passions and pleasures.... So what changed? What is the event that he talks about in verse 4?
-What good things can you devote yourself to doing for your friends? family? people in your school? others?
-Why did Jesus come to save us?
This passage gives us a great comparison - before someone knows Christ they think they are in control, but they are really slaves of their passions and pleasures, slaves of envy and hatred. But after we know Christ, after we accept His mercy, we can truly start living as He created us to live. We obey Christ because we see just how destructive sin is.
