Ephesians

Fourth Day: Review Ephesians 5:3-14, concentrating on verses 5-8a.

1. What can we be certain of? (Ephesians 5:5)

2. What does Ephesians 5:7 exhort us not to do?

3. a. The same truths are expressed in Colossians 3:5-6. From Ephesians 5:6b and Colossians 3:6, what is coming because of these things?

b. Some people may try to say that God’s wrath is not coming, that it doesn’t matter what we do, that it is alright to sin. What does Ephesians 5:6a have to say about this?

c. What do Ephesians 5:8a and Colossians 3:7 say about our lives before we accepted Jesus Christ as Savior?

4. We may have been like that and lived that way before we accepted Jesus Christ, but we have been forgiven and set free, not only from the penalty, but also from the power of sin. What do you learn about this from Romans 6:14-16?

5. People may try to deceive you with empty words, saying it is okay to sin, but as you see, it is not. What does 1 John 2:1 say regarding this, and what hope is given if we do sin?

6. Personal: What is your attitude toward sin in your own life? Write out Titus 2:14. Underline what your attitude should be.
