Discuss Ephesians 5 Page 16

l learnt some good lessons in this chapter as to why we should live and walk in the light of God. We must understand who we are in Christ that we are no longer the same person who was living under the influence of the spirit of darkness. The light in us must be able to identify darkness and as concerning husband and wife it is very clear that the two will succeed by obeying God 's command as each of them have a part to play .The woman is expected to submit and reverence her husband and the husband is expected to love his wife as Christ loves the church unto death that means the two has life together and if they refuse to do this either of each is hating his own body and that is why a lot of couples are suffering today if the principles of commitment and faithfulness to each other is not applied,is a practical life style true and faithful not deception and true love actually gives up all for your loved and thats what God did for us first by giving his son to die for our sins love is giving the best to the end.

This scripture clearly indicates that,that which is in our spirit can clearly be manifested in our body,flesh and bones as we acknowledge what is in our spirit and see ourselves that way because as he is so are we and all things which we need in life he has give them to us

Love love love this book,as a fairly new christian about to get married it really speaks to me.

It was encouragibg

The Lord showed me that this letter was an analogy to allow the new church to understand their relationship with Christ in terms of what they already knew and understood It is not an order for wives to submit or husbands to abandon their family This is a very beautiful analogy when understood correctly

The fruit of the SPIRIT is our LORD JESUS CHRIST who is righteous good and whom is the TRUTH

Marriage is a determinant device for leadership ability

You know walking in love is not only good for immediate gratification it is good for a lifetime The word say for GOD so loved the world GOD is love To walk in love is to walk in GOD To walk in love is to be in GOD and GOD IN US

Susan Dalton s comment was very well explained Jesus gave Himself I also ought to give of myself to those in need spiritualy physically and mentally Yes it is a stinch in God s nostrils when we do not walk in Love

I believe redeeming the time means recovering lost opportunities most of them if not all by increasing our speed at doing God s work This is because we wasted more of our time in the world and more also we have little time left for the coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ

Heavenly Father I give thanks to every blessing every struggle that you have carried us through every storm for answering my prayers for listening to my prayers giving us the opportunity to wake up and go on through our day with you beside me to give me strength Dear heavenly father I thank you for never leaving me or forsaken me for being with each one of my children and my grand children We thank you for our jobs for financial blessings for our health for the food on our table clothes on our back and a roof over our head dear lord Lord we love you and we need you we thank you for your knowledge to be obedient to your commandments and for giving us knowledge understanding and wisdom to do as you would want us to do Dear God we thank you for all you have done all that you are doing and all you are going to do We love you and honor you and glorify your holly name and we magnify you in Jesus name we pray Amen

Eph.5v1:Let it then be your desire to be like God, as well-loved children,Eph.5v11:Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them.My Lord and my God give me the grace to follow u

I am going to Pray about these things as I hope people aren't trying to Snare me.....i know me and i know my Father.....I know the TRUTH! And i know if in being a certain way i receive Correction if Its an individual acting a certain Way then they also Need to receive the Correction. Praise THEM! For Knowledge either you walking in the light or your in Darkness....

That unequal yoke of teaming up and buddying with those that have not been born again leads to grieving the Holy Ghost within me and it doesn't take long to experience this. The things that I used to find pleasure in lost their appeal after my conversion. A repentant heart, the Holy Ghost, and God's Holy Bible have brought me to desire the good and acceptable will of God. I can understand that God's Word is good for me and for those without Christ... like when He says, "Be not ye therefore partakers with them. 8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: 9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) 10 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord."

Mark 3
Matt 12
"A house divided cannot stand"
Married for 29 years. My wife has always been afraid to leave her family. As a husband and as a father, my word has always been condemned. I try to avoid an attitude of "see I told you" but after three decades my fears are reality. Problems as parents, problems with finances and problems with physical health continue. Several times I'm asked if I would do it again. I would truly require that we move far away so we can develop our own family! A house divided cannot stand! Important roles as Christians, as spouses and then as parents! Nurture these now. For thise

This verse hits home yo the marriage problems mu husband. N myself r having with his family is there any other verses that closely pertain to this verse

Becoming light to the gentiles should be sacrificial just like JESUS loved the world and died for us on the cross.
So love others in order to be their light

even not euen

It is helpful as 1cor 6:18 walk on the path of righteousness

When you feel down, you may find it difficult to give thanks. Take heart God works all things out for good if we love him and are fitting unto his plans ( Romans 8:28). Thank God, not for your problems but for the strength he is building in you through the difficult experiences fothe life. You can be sure that God's perfect love will see you thought.

The scripture is perfect if only men could understand its significance and execute their roles we would have a society with less defects as men set the way for wives and children.God has entrusted them with a divine role,they may not be perfect in all things but if their thirst for God and to do His will surely their would have founded a solid ground for all of us.

too good

I love this portion of bible, ephesian 5: 6

All the Songs Of Solomon are foreshadow of Jesus' love for his bride the church. remember that all scripture is given by inspiration of God. Solomon is a foreshadow of Christ and the Shulamite Bride is a foreshadow of the church. The passion and adoration of these Old Testament characters represent Christ's love for His church. Remember Ephesians 5:25

Let's always practice what the Bible says, for they are the words of Jehovah God. Jehovah himself blessed marriage.

Ilove Ephesians. it speak the truth about everything. i think more people need to read it

When offering prayers, we want to remember to give thanks to God. There are so many things to be thankful for each day and we want to make sure we are thanking God and not just asking for things in our prayers. As this verse brought out, we want to offer our prayers in the name of Christ Jesus.

V 15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,

16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. So we need spiritual wisdom to walk in the journey of christianity by redeeming time, to redeem is to buy back, in other words before we were born again we lost a lot of time to bring the gospel to others that served us. And if we are indeed children of the light we would have the thirsty to bring those in darkness to light, and we feel and wish we had repentant earlier to do more for God, and there is where time redemption comes into play, we focus and direct most of the time to the things of heavenly kingdom instead of earthly kingdom, so as to be wise. Remember fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and thus if we try to buy back time lost while in the world and utilise it for the kingdom glory w become wise, for we surely loose our life for the kingdom and the bible promises us that if we do loose our life we will surely recover our life as wise man, but the fools will try to serve their life and loose it at the end.

CHRIST being the HEAD of the CHURCH is the savior of the BODY ( Ephesians 5:23). The CHURCH are those He PURCHASED with His own blood ( Acts 20:28). So WE, being many, are ONE BODY in Christ, and every one members one of another ( Romans 12:5). Regarding the BIBLE which we believed as the BOOK of the compilation of the HOLY SCRIPTURES and the THE LAW OF GOD which was translated out of original tongue it was written, "Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me" ( John 5:39); Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall want her mate: for my mouth it hath commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered them ( Isaiah 34:16); All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness (2-Timothy 3:16)
