Ephesians 5:8-14; NKJV
8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light
9 (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth),
10 finding out what is acceptable to the Lord.
11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.
12 For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret.
13 But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light.
14 Therefore He says:
"Awake, you who sleep,
Arise from the dead,
And Christ will give you light."
We once were dead in sins and trespasses, walking in darkness (Ephesians 2:1-3; 5:8). Now we are children of light and we must walk as such (Ephesians 5:8). We are to find out what is acceptable to the Lord and walk that way trusting Him to give us light (Ephesians 5:8-14).
