Ephesians 5 continues the practical exhortation that began in chapter 4. Paul has called the faithful to “walk worthy” of their calling (4:1), to put off the old humanity and put on the new (4:22-24), and to live as people whose lives have been transformed by Messiah. He now develops that calling through three related themes: walking in love, walking in light, and walking in wisdom. Give a listen!
In Ephesians 4:17-32 Paul expounds upon the idea that those chosen before the foundation of the world, redeemed through the blood of Messiah, raised from death to life, reconciled into one new humanity, and built together as God’s holy Temple must now walk in a manner worthy of that calling. What does it look like to practically live this life of faith? Give a listen.
In Ephesians 4:1-16, the apostle Paul turns from doctrine to discipleship, from theology to conduct, from what the Lord has accomplished to how His redeemed people are to live. How do we mature in this faith? By relationship with the Lord, and by gift ministries, given by Messiah to His Body, who equip the saints for ministry. Give a listen!
