Bible Answer: And do not get drunk with wine, for that is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit Ephesians 5:18 NASB (Source: Ryrie Study Bible Expanded Edition) 'X. THE FILLING OF THE SPIRIT. 'B. CHARACTERISTICS. '1) Filling is commanded (Eph 5:18, the verb is imperative). '2) Filling is repeated (Acts 2:4; 4:31). '3) Filling produces Christlikeness (Gal 5:22-23). 'C. CONDITIONS FOR BEING FILLED. '1) *A dedicated life*. Yielding to the Spirit's control, though commanded, is voluntary and necessitates an act of dedication. This includes two aspects: initial dedication (Rom 12:1-2) and continual dedication of one's life (Rom 8:14). '2) *An undefeated life*. Victory over sin in daily experience is necessary in being controlled by the Spirit (Eph 4:30). This means responding to the light of the Word as it is continually revealed (1 John 1:7). '3) *A dependent life* (Gal 5:16).' ____________________ Source: Ryrie Study Bible Expanded Edition, Moody, 1986, 1995 |
