Ephesians Study Chapter 5 - Christian Households

Imitators of God!

• Walk in love 
  • God’s Child
  • God’s beloved child
  • Purchased with a great price
• Walk as children of light
  • We are set apart
  • We are light
• Walk in wisdom
  • Walk with purpose
  • Use your time wisely (life is short)
  • Days are evil (Freedom to win the lost could be taken away)
  • God has a plan for us, a will for our lives.  He gave us a mind (a choice) and we must use the Bible, prayer, meditation and worship to figure it out.
  • The closer we become to God the more clear his will in our lives becomes.
• Being imitators of God starts at home
  • Husbands (men) love your wives as Christ loved the church
    • Give yourself up for her
    • Do what you can to ensure her salvation
    • Lover her as you love yourself
• Wives submit to your husbands
  • The example is how the church submits to Christ (the Savior)
