Ephesians 5:1-14
5:1 Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. 2 And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma. 3 But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints; 4 neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks. 5 For this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. 6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. 7 Therefore do not be partakers with them.
8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light 9(for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth), 10 finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. 11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. 12 For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret. 13 But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light. 14 Therefore He says:
"Awake, you who sleep,
Arise from the dead,
And Christ will give you light."
NKJV
We are not to be deceived. Empty WORDS are bad!
The main thought though is for us to WAKE UP! Awake you who sleep, arise from the dead and Christ will give you light.
Imitating God is good, right? In that I walk in love that Christ has loved me and you with. When they mention that disobedience in verse 6....that is "unbelief".
So they are talking about those in "unbelief". They do not have any belief in God.
In the latter days as in reference to the Tribulation time, we are reminded that many will turn from the belief or trust in God. There is a day coming when many will turn from the "faith" in God. We are to "know" His Word. We are to hear "his heart speak" to our hearts. We should be infused with the Holy Spirit knowing that in Him, we move in power of God. Standing in right standing with Him, we are those who have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness. We are to expose them for what they are: the work of the enemy.
Filling our hearts with His Word declares we are the victor in the day to come. We stand as those who have an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. Jesus Christ will light you with His glory, and darkness dispelled means you have peace and joy in the Holy Ghost. That LIGHT is making visible everything you must see clearly. No more stumbling in the dark. We choose wise words that the Lord has directed us to. Our path is clear and is seen. It is where the hilly becomes level. The weary become the rested. Finding Jesus is the best thing possible. The yoke is easy and the burden is light. Amen. Matthew 11:28-30)
