 IV. The Purpose (v. 45)
Therefore many believed (v. 45)
A New Life (v. 43), John 20:31

 V. Application
What is the status quo of your faith? What about your family? How will you help one another to “come out” of the spiritual tomb?
Paul challenges every believer to put on a new life (Ephesians 4:17-24) and yet many of us are still carrying old clothes on us. What are some of the old clothes that you need to “take off” in order to be made “ENTIRELY” new?
