에베소서 5:8-5:14 본문보기
What lesson is God teaching me?
Vv. 8-10 Christians are now children of light and should bear the fruit of light in their lives. Kindness (goodness and generosity), righteousness and honesty are the fruits that we should bear. To be able to bear these fruits, we should always keep in mind the things that are pleasing to God. Today, before you judge anyone or do anything, think about whether it will be pleasing to God and then put it into action.
Vv. 11-13 It is not enough for Christians to not participate in activities of darkness. But we must boldly rebuke those actions and bring them into the light. If we know of another saint’s dark behavior we should be able to rebuke him. Love that hates darkness is God’s love. Are you just overlooking the continual sin in your community? You must go and show them their fault and encourage them to straighten up (see Mt 18:15-17). When a brother goes down the wrong road we must rebuke them in love. Love without correction is not true love.
May I be filled with the Holy Spirit in this dizzying world, and wisely live my life according to the Lord’s will.
