Spirit-Led Opportunities
Ephesians 5:15-20
Main Point:
God’s will for Christ followers is to be Filled with His Spirit, and use every opportunity to shine our light, with a thankful and praise-filled heart!
1. The Command: ‘Be filled = (controlled/led by) with Christ’s Spirit.’
(verse 18)
*We are not to be controlled by anything that leads us into the flesh and sin!
Galatians 5:25
2.The Contrast: We must not be foolish, but live in obedience to Christ’s Word (careful), recognizing the days are evil.
(verses 15-16)
*Foolish = Living opposite of God’s will for our lives in Christ!
I Peter 4:3
3.The Consequence: We will display the life of the Spirit with opportunities to minister to others and to the Lord.
(verses 16, 19-20)
*Spirit filled ministry to others and to the Lord is characterized by a humble, thankful and praise- filled heart.
