Today my devotional comes from Ephesians 5:1-21. It's about The Children Of Light, and how I can be one. There are many things I should do, but God always give the chance for me to fulfill all the actions =")
Here I want to share you one by one, about what do we have to do as Children of Light, over the verses.
1. Be imitators of God
"Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God."From these verses I learn that I have to live a life of love, which would make me the imitator of God.(vs 1-2)
2. Be Holy
"But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people."(vs 3)
"For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person - such a man is an idolater - has any inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ and of God."(vs 5)
3. Have a thanksgiving lips
"Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving."(vs 4)
"always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ."(vs 20)
4. Always pleases The Lord
"and find out what pleases The Lord." (vs 10)5. Should not be lazy
"...Wake up, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine upon you."(vs 14b)
6. Be wise with our days
"Be very careful, then, how you live - not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is."(vs 15-17)
7. Be filled with Spirit always
"Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit."(vs 18)
8. Praise the Lord all the time
"Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord."9. Make peace with one another(vs 19)
"Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ." (vs 21)
