Passage: Ephesians 5:3-14 Speaker: Pastor Jon Kopp Series: Identity in Christ
Speaker: Pastor Jon Kopp - In today's passage, Paul says that “at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light.” Darkness isn’t just a world we were in or a state of mind. Though that would be true. There is actually something deeper that Paul wants us to see about our hearts. Darkness was our identity. We were darkness. But, when we meet Jesus, the light of the world, something incredible happens. We are no longer darkness. We are now light. And that light should affect everything about us. So, because of that fundamental change in identity, we are to walk as children of light. Paul is going to show us how we do that by drawing our attention to an arena of significant temptation and vulnerability both for the Ephesians and for us. The arena of sexual sin.
