“Proving…”

August 28, 2020

“Proving…”

Blessings folk!

Let’s look at the complete thought now…

Eph 5:7-10

Therefore do not be partakers with them;
for you were formerly darkness, but now you are Light in the Lord; walk as children of Light
(for the fruit of the Light consists in all goodness and righteousness and truth),
trying to learn what is pleasing to the Lord.

We are Light in the Lord.
We are to walk as children of Light.

This walk will produce fruit - fruit of Light.
What is the fruit?
Goodness.
Righteousness.
Truth.

Note it is a parenthetical statement.

The last verse tells us “trying to…”.
This means “proving what is pleasing to the Lord”.
Proving how?

Take out the parenthetical statement…

“…walk as children of Light trying to learn what is pleasing to the Lord.”

The Authorized version is clear…

Eph 5:10
Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.

Our walk as children of Light is proof of/proves what is pleasing to the Lord.

Whoa!

Are we walking in Light?
Are we pleasing?
