“Children of Light”
“Children of Light”
Blessings folk!
No immorality, impurity or greed is to be named among the saints!
Saints are those who are True Believers.
“Saints” means “holy ones”!
That is who you are…if you truly believe.
No filthiness, silly talk or coarse jesting.
Such is not fitting for Believers.
Rather, we are to give thanks.
The next verse is a conclusion with instruction…
Eph 5:7
Therefore do not be partakers with them;
We as Believers are not to partake with those that do these things, as well as anything else displeasing to the Lord.
Why?
Eph 5:8
for you were formerly darkness, but now you are Light in the Lord; walk as children of Light
We were formerly darkness.
But not now.
Now we are Light in the Lord.
Therefore, walk as children of Light.
That is the reason that I speak so often of having a correct understanding of who we are.
True Believers are not just “sinners saved by grace”.
I was a sinner
I was/am saved by the grace of the Lord..
But, the Word now calls us “saints”…holy ones!
We are not “sinners saved by grace” who seek to do good things in the salvation that the Lord has granted until He returns.
We are not “sinners saved by grace” who are “barely hanging on” until the Lord returns.
We are saints/holy ones who choose to sin from time to time.
We do not sin because of “who we are”.
We sin because we choose to, not because we have to by nature.
We are saints of the Most High.
We are the Light of the Lord.
We are empowered to walk as Children of Light..
Let us choose to do so!
