Walk as Children

Opening Story

Matthew 5:16 CSB

16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.

Ephesians 5:6–14 (CSB)

6 Let no one deceive you with empty arguments, for God’s wrath is coming on the disobedient because of these things.

7 Therefore, do not become their partners.

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 light consists of all goodness, righteousness, and truth—

10 testing what is pleasing to the Lord.

11 Don’t participate in the fruitless works of darkness, but instead expose them.

12 For it is shameful even to mention what is done by them in secret.

13 Everything exposed by the light is made visible,

14 for what makes everything visible is light. Therefore it is said: Get up, sleeper, and rise up from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.

As a child of light we no longer need to live in fear.
