The Fruit of the Light (Ephesians 5:7-14)
Bob Schultz, September 2, 2018Part of the Ephesians series, preached at a Sunday Morning service
Today the Bible will continue to teach about progressive sanctification using the metaphor of light and darkness so that we would walk and live as children of the Light.
Ephesians 5:7–14 (Listen)
7 Therefore do not become partners with them; 8 for at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light 9 (for the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true), 10 and try to discern what is pleasing to the Lord. 11 Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them. 12 For it is shameful even to speak of the things that they do in secret. 13 But when anything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible, 14 for anything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says,
“Awake, O sleeper,
and arise from the dead,
and Christ will shine on you.”
