Children of Light
Ephesians 5:1-21 (Jason Barnaby)
Children love to imitate their parents. We are children of God and children of light. It is only natural for our lives to reveal God’s character.
Ephesians 5.01-21.mp3 (Jason Barnaby)
Strictly speaking spiritual renewal doesn’t follow any strict formula. It’s a work of God’s grace and, as such, is entirely dependent upon Him. Still, if we are willing to recognize our need for spiritual renewal, then we can take conscious steps in that direction. God, as it happens, loves to move in the lives of people who are earnestly seeking Him.
We are now firmly into the application section of Paul’s letter. Not much deep theology here. Paul tells us very straightforwardly what is right and what is wrong. The only proper response to this passage is to believe it and act accordingly. At the end, however, we’ll talk a bit about why Christians so often don’t seem to get this right.
