Bible Question:
what does eph 5:20 say? |
Bible Answer: Zak, Here is a commentary on Ephesians, starting with verse 19 to 21. For all things, is to work out what God has worked in. God's blessings to you. (19-21) Walking in the light means serving one another in love a. When we are filled with the Spirit, we will have a desire to worship God, and to encourage others in their worship of God i. The connection with being filled with the Spirit and praise is significant; those who are filled with the Spirit will naturally praise, and praise is a way that we are filled with the Spirit b. The variety of psalms and hymns and spiritual songs suggests that God delights in creative, spontaneous worship; and the most important place of us to have a melody unto God is in our heart; many who can't sing well have the most beautiful melodies in their heart! c. The one who is filled with the Spirit will also be filled with thanksgiving; a complaining heart and the Holy Spirit just don't go together d. Paul recommends the same pattern for our thanksgiving as he practiced in prayer in Ephesians 3:14 - giving thanks to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ e. When we are filled with the Spirit, it will show by our mutual submission to each other; and the submission will be done in the fear of God, not the fear of man i. Submission because of the fear of man is coercive; submission out of the fear of God is a beautiful act of love. |
