Ephesians

Second Day: Read Ephesians 5:15-21, concentrating on verses 15-17a.

1. We have been looking at the passage in Ephesians where the apostle Paul deals with our preparation as Christians for living in a sin-sick and corrupt society. What does he now warn us about? (Ephesians 5:15a)

2. a. From Ephesians 5:15b-16a, how are we to live?

b. What does Colossians 4:5-6 tell us about living in this way?

3. Why do we need to take extra care how we live? (Ephesians 5:16b)

4. Because of the evil times we live in, what does Ephesians 5:17a tell us not to do?

5. Personal: Do you ever consider how you live your day-in, day-out life, or do you just go about your business without ever giving it much thought? We will look more closely at these passages throughout this week, but having read these today, what is God bringing to your mind, and how will you respond to Him?
