“Our Walk in Christ”  | Ephesians 5:6-5:21

Recap

We were once darkness, but now we are light in the Lord, and therefore we are called to walk as children of light in a dark and broken world. The light of Christ has filled us, not so we can argue against darkness from a distance, but so that His presence through us can expose evil and draw others to Him. Walking in the light means bearing the fruit of goodness, righteousness, and truth—living wisely, filled with the Spirit, and loving both God and neighbor through worship, gratitude, and mutual submission. As we walk wisely, empowered by the Spirit, our lives become a living testimony that reveals the beauty and power of Jesus to a world still lost in darkness..
