March 11, 2023:  Someone Has To Say It!

3/11/2023

"For you may be sure of this, that everyone who is sexually immoral or impure, or who is covetous (that is, an idolater), has no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God." "Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil." (Ephesians 5:5;15-16 ESV)

Would you want to know if you knew there were specific things that would keep you out of the Kingdom of God? I would, and Paul lays three things out here. Bottom line: If you are sexually immoral, impure, or covetous, you have no inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ and God. That is a severe warning to Ephesus and us. In fact, the words "you may be sure of this" expresses a double warning. It is non-negotiable. Paul says it and rests his case.

Later in verses 15-16, Paul gives the Ephesians some direction to avoid missing their inheritance. First, 'look carefully.' To look means to take note and understand. Don't just see. But know what you see. 'Carefully' means "pertaining to a strict conformity, to a norm or standard." (Kittle) So as you look, there is a Kingdom standard that you are expected to conform to. To deviate from that standard has consequences. Therefore 'look carefully' at how you walk.

Be wise and not foolish regarding the three warnings. And make the best use of your time. The best use of your time will always be doing God things!
