Ephesians 5:1-8, Ephesians 5:11-14

=============================

Ephesians 5:1-8

================

Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling savour. But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient; but rather giving of thanks. For this ye know that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Let no man deceive you with vain words; for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. Be not ye therefore partakers with them. For ye were sometimes darkness but now are ye light in the Lord; walk as children of light.



Ephesians 5:11-14

===============

And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light; for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest and arise from the dead and Christ shall give thee light.

Amen

Colossians 1:13,14



For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

Why are we skipping right over verses 9 and 10?





For this light within you produces only what is good and right and true. Carefully determine what pleases the Lord.

That is interesting that she would leave out those verses Ivy! Wow!



Its important to note in those left out verses that by His light in us (and His POWER to turn us away from sin), we can produce only what is good and right and true. And certainly then we can carefully determine what pleases the Lord! AMEN!
