Called to be imitators
Ephesians 5:1-21 is a passage of scripture so rich with so many truth, lessons and exhortations that to do it full justice we would need to spend upwards of 5 weeks just looking at this passage of scripture. It’s a passage of scripture in which Paul gives general instructions for holy living. He focuses on purity of life—both by avoiding evil deeds and associations and by adopting holy practices.
Following laws against disobedience without first understanding the truths and fruit of obedience may make us aware of what not to do but wont motivate us to to it!!!
Today we will be looking at Ephesians 5:1-2 to help us understand what I have called "freedom motivators", truths that if we understand will help us fulfill the instructions in verses 3 to 21.
