Discuss Ephesians 5 Page 14

I am to always have a thankful heart. Thanksgiving unto my Lord opens the door to Blessings . I am so very Grateful and in Thanksgiving always for his Wonderful and Great Salvation He has provided through Jesus Christ. I am so Glad and Happy that I am a part of the family of God. I am Thankful to have a copy of His word. That right there is a tremendous Blessing. I have access by faith into this Grace wherein I stand. It is a Great privilege to be a child of the Great and Living God Almighty.

The Bible is the word of God and therefore self explanitory

Paul was exhorting Christians to use their time wisely in caring for spiritual interests, but the principle can be helpful in many important activities of life.

I love our Father 's word and guidance. We only need to follow him. This world is only temporary. His Kingdom is forever.

The Bible extolls self control for the believer, after all we are Gods representatives. Drunkeness leads to, and shows, a lack of self control. His Word also warns us against excesses in our lives, and drunkeness is certainly the result of an excess. Whether a Christian can drink wine isn 't the point here, if it were we would simply read "Do not drink wine ". It is a warning not to be entrapped, but to be controlled only by the Holy Spirit.

It is certain that we have all things in God through Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour, and the use of father does show that he cares and he supplies all our needs. By God we know he is able to do everything and nothing is impossible with him. So thanking God "all things " is a kind of faith that shows. that we know who he really is. A supplier and able God.

the husband must be subject and obeying God 's word. do not be unequally yoke, is the first step

men must not live in the fresh but in the spirit inorder to fullfill the will of God.

There are two things here, men ought to love their wives likewise, wives need to submit and reference their husband.

Husband should be good to there wives because it takes two to make a marriage work to become one.God made it to be that way,I 'am happy in my marriege going on 5 years and growing.

giving thanks always for all things unto GOD and the Father in the name of our Lord JESUS CHRIST. THANK YOU JESUS THANK YOU JESUS THANK YOU JESUS THANK YOU JESUS.

I agree with Toni. Only men who have Christ in their hearts and are filled with the Holy Ghost can love their wives unconditionally. Thank God for his Word which challenges us to be there for our wives and families.

The only husband who can truly love the way Christ loved is he must possess Christ. He must be filled with the Holdy ghost, who will spread the love abroad in his heart. Women are wanting good men, but if they are not godly men, they will not have this love Paul speaks of.

Jesus Christ loved me so much that He gave Himself for me. That is love. Love gives !!!! Hate takes. If you will notice there are a lot of things that give the sun gives light The earth gives herb for food the tree gives food to eat. . God gave us all things richly to enjoy. His blood gives live. God is always love and live and living .

The kind of the Bible is saying in the sacrificial love, that is, the love Jesus has for us. The Bible says nobody can hate any part of his body. So, we men will ought to love our wives as Jesus love the church. Note that, marriage centred on three things Love man , Submission wife obedience children all these lead to dependable and reliable family.

Redeeming the time means to be LOYAL to the ONE who own the time. What did you used your time for? How did you spent your time? What is controling your time? What is the purpose IN and OF your time? What are the GOALS and TARGET in your time. Everybody on earth have 24 hours to his or her self, OBAMA have 24h, I have 24h, you also have 24h to your self. Our diffirent in success in life is what we do with our life, how we do and use our time. Our success in christianity and the HOPE of making HEAVEN is what we use our time and life for. Here is my final conclution Fear God and obey his commandment, for this is the entire duty of man. For God will judge us for everything we do with time we spent on earth, including every hidden things good or bad.

Because the days are so evil, we need to make the most of our time we have left doing Gods work , spreading the gospel to win souls

I think the ansewers u gave me were very good

l learnt some good lessons in this chapter as to why we should live and walk in the light of God. We must understand who we are in Christ that we are no longer the same person who was living under the influence of the spirit of darkness. The light in us must be able to identify darkness and as concerning husband and wife it is very clear that the two will succeed by obeying God 's command as each of them have a part to play .The woman is expected to submit and reverence her husband and the husband is expected to love his wife as Christ loves the church unto death that means the two has life together and if they refuse to do this either of each is hating his own body and that is why a lot of couples are suffering today if the principles of commitment and faithfulness to each other is not applied,is a practical life style true and faithful not deception and true love actually gives up all for your loved and thats what God did for us first by giving his son to die for our sins love is giving the best to the end.

This scripture clearly indicates that,that which is in our spirit can clearly be manifested in our body,flesh and bones as we acknowledge what is in our spirit and see ourselves that way because as he is so are we and all things which we need in life he has give them to us

Love love love this book,as a fairly new christian about to get married it really speaks to me.

It was encouragibg

The Lord showed me that this letter was an analogy to allow the new church to understand their relationship with Christ in terms of what they already knew and understood It is not an order for wives to submit or husbands to abandon their family This is a very beautiful analogy when understood correctly

The fruit of the SPIRIT is our LORD JESUS CHRIST who is righteous good and whom is the TRUTH

Marriage is a determinant device for leadership ability

You know walking in love is not only good for immediate gratification it is good for a lifetime The word say for GOD so loved the world GOD is love To walk in love is to walk in GOD To walk in love is to be in GOD and GOD IN US

Susan Dalton s comment was very well explained Jesus gave Himself I also ought to give of myself to those in need spiritualy physically and mentally Yes it is a stinch in God s nostrils when we do not walk in Love

I believe redeeming the time means recovering lost opportunities most of them if not all by increasing our speed at doing God s work This is because we wasted more of our time in the world and more also we have little time left for the coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ

Heavenly Father I give thanks to every blessing every struggle that you have carried us through every storm for answering my prayers for listening to my prayers giving us the opportunity to wake up and go on through our day with you beside me to give me strength Dear heavenly father I thank you for never leaving me or forsaken me for being with each one of my children and my grand children We thank you for our jobs for financial blessings for our health for the food on our table clothes on our back and a roof over our head dear lord Lord we love you and we need you we thank you for your knowledge to be obedient to your commandments and for giving us knowledge understanding and wisdom to do as you would want us to do Dear God we thank you for all you have done all that you are doing and all you are going to do We love you and honor you and glorify your holly name and we magnify you in Jesus name we pray Amen

Eph.5v1:Let it then be your desire to be like God, as well-loved children,Eph.5v11:Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them.My Lord and my God give me the grace to follow u
