Ephesians 5:1-14

Reflection Questions

1. In light of Ephesians 4:1 and 4:17… How is 5:1-2 an encouragement and also instructive to us? 

2. Why do you think Paul stops to list six specific sins in verses 3-4 after giving five examples of taking off and putting on in 4:25-32?

3. Which of the three reasons for being imitators of God resonated with you? Why?   (1) The Character of God’s Kingdom vs 5. 

  (2) The wrath of God vs 6-7. 

  (3) Being who we are called to be, the Light vs 8-14.

4. What does it mean to expose the works of darkness (Vs 11)? How might we do this today? How does the Holy Spirit provide wisdom and boldness for this task?
