Don’t Waste Your Life (Ephesians 5:18)
In our previous study of Ephesians, we examined quite deliberately the opening half of this verse. Though not being drunk with wine is not the main point of the passage, understanding this exhortation is nonetheless paramount if we will understand the importance of this second half and all that follows. In essence, what Paul is saying is that now that we are Christians, we are no longer to waste our lives; rather, we are to worship with our lives. We will examine this verse by asking three questions of it: (1) What does it mean to be filled with the Spirit? (2) Why are we to be filled with the Spirit? and (3) How are we to be filled with the Spirit?
From Series: "Ephesians Exposition"
This series comprises the sermons preached at BBC during an exposition of the book of Ephesians.
