Living in The Light

Since you are God's children, you must try to be like him. Your life must be controlled by love, just as Christ love us and gave his life for us as a sweet-smelling offering and sacrifice that pleases God. Since you are God's people, it is not right that any matters of sexual immorality or indecency or greed should even mentioned among you. Nor is it fitting for you to use language which is obscene, profane or vulgar. Rather you should give thanks to God. You may be sure that no one who is immortal, indecent, or greedy  (for greed is form of idolatry) will ever receive a share in the knigdom of Christ and of God. Do not let anyone deceive you with foolish words; it is because of these very things that God's anger will come upon those who do not obey him. So have nothing at all to do with such people. You yourselves used to be in the darkness, but since you have become the Lord's people, you are in the light that brings a rich harvest of every kind of goodness, rightneousness, and truth. Try to learn what pleases the Lord. Have nothing to do with the worthless things that people do, things that belongs to the darkness. Instead, bring them out to the light. ( It is too shameful even to talk about the things they do in secret.) And when all things are brought out to the light, then their true nature is clearly revealed; for anthing that is clearly revealed becomes light. That is why it is said, "WAKE UP, SLEEPER AND RISE FROM DEATH , AND CHRIST WILL SHINE ON YOU". So be careful how you live. Don't live like ignorant people. Make good use of every opportunity you have, because these are vil days. Don't be fools, then, but try to find out what the Lord's wats you to do. Do not get drunk with wine, which will only ruin you; instead, be filled with the Spirit. Speak to one another with the words of psalms, hymns and psalms to the Lord with praise in your hearts. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, always give thanks for everything to God the Father.
