PERFORMANCE & REWARD

GOD PLACES INFINITE VALUE ON US. GOD SHOWS US EXTRAORDINARY RESPECT. GOD GIVES US UNCONDITIONAL LOVE / ACCEPTANCE

TRANSFORMATIONAL EFFECT

MODIFICATION vs. TRANSFORMATION

EPHESIANS 5:1-21 THEREFORE BE IMITATORS OF GOD, AS BELOVED CHILDREN. 2 AND WALK IN LOVE, AS CHRIST LOVED US AND GAVE HIMSELF UP FOR US, A FRAGRANT OFFERING AND SACRIFICE TO GOD. 3 BUT SEXUAL IMMORALITY AND ALL IMPURITY OR COVETOUSNESS MUST NOT EVEN BE NAMED AMONG YOU, AS IS PROPER AMONG SAINTS. 4 LET THERE BE NO FILTHINESS NOR FOOLISH TALK NOR CRUDE JOKING, WHICH ARE OUT OF PLACE, BUT INSTEAD LET THERE BE THANKSGIVING.

5 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. 6 LET NO ONE DECEIVE YOU WITH EMPTY WORDS, FOR BECAUSE OF THESE THINGS THE WRATH OF GOD COMES UPON THE SONS OF DISOBEDIENCE. 7 THEREFORE DO NOT BECOME PARTNERS WITH THEM; 8 FOR AT ONE TIME YOU WERE DARKNESS, BUT NOW YOU ARE LIGHT IN THE LORD. WALK AS CHILDREN OF LIGHT

9 (FOR THE FRUIT OF LIGHT IS FOUND IN ALL THAT IS GOOD AND RIGHT AND TRUE), 10 AND TRY TO DISCERN WHAT IS PLEASING TO THE LORD. 11 TAKE NO PART IN THE UNFRUITFUL WORKS OF DARKNESS, BUT INSTEAD EXPOSE THEM. 12 FOR IT IS SHAMEFUL EVEN TO SPEAK OF THE THINGS THAT THEY DO IN SECRET. 13 BUT WHEN ANYTHING IS EXPOSED BY THE LIGHT, IT BECOMES VISIBLE, 14 FOR ANYTHING THAT BECOMES VISIBLE IS LIGHT. THEREFORE IT SAYS, “AWAKE, O SLEEPER, AND ARISE FROM THE DEAD, AND CHRIST WILL SHINE ON YOU.”

15 LOOK CAREFULLY THEN HOW YOU WALK, NOT AS UNWISE BUT AS WISE, 16 MAKING THE BEST USE OF THE TIME, BECAUSE THE DAYS ARE EVIL. 17 THEREFORE DO NOT BE FOOLISH, BUT UNDERSTAND WHAT THE WILL OF THE LORD IS. 18 AND DO NOT GET DRUNK WITH WINE, FOR THAT IS DEBAUCHERY, BUT BE FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT, 19 ADDRESSING ONE ANOTHER IN PSALMS AND HYMNS AND SPIRITUAL SONGS, SINGING AND MAKING MELODY TO THE LORD WITH YOUR HEART, 20 GIVING THANKS ALWAYS AND FOR EVERYTHING TO GOD THE FATHER IN THE NAME OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, 21 SUBMITTING TO ONE ANOTHER OUT OF REVERENCE FOR CHRIST.

IF WE ARE A MORALIST

DO IMITATE GOD (5: 1) WALK IN LOVE (5: 2) WALK AS IN THE LIGHT (5: 8B) DISCERN WHAT PLEASES GOD (5: 10) WALK AS THE WISE (5: 15) MAKE THE BEST USE OF TIME (5: 16) BE FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT (5: 18B) SING IN PASSIONATE WORSHIP TO GOD (5: 19) GIVE THANKS (5: 4, 20) SUBMIT TO ONE ANOTHER (5: 21)

DO NOT ENGAGE IN SEXUAL IMMORALITY, IMPURITY, OR COVETOUSNESS (5: 3) PARTICIPATE IN FILTHINESS, FOOLISH TALK, AND CRUDE HUMOR (5: 4) ASSOCIATE WITH PRACTITIONERS OF THE ABOVE (5: 7) TAKE PART IN WORKS OF DARKNESS, BUT EXPOSE THEM (5: 11) GET DRUNK (5: 18)

WHAT IS THE ANSWER?

THEREFORE BE IMITATORS OF GOD, AS BELOVED CHILDREN… EVERYTHING TO GOD THE FATHER IN THE NAME OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST EPHESIANS 5:1 & 20 SEE THAT GOD OUR FATHER PLACES INFINITE VALUE ON US & GOD GIVES US UNCONDITIONAL LOVE AS HIS CHILDREN

TRANSFORMATION STARTS WHEN YOU SEE YOURSELF LOVED AS CHILDREN OF GOD.

FOR BECAUSE OF THESE THINGS THE WRATH OF GOD COMES UPON THE SONS OF DISOBEDIENCE. 7 THEREFORE DO NOT BECOME PARTNERS WITH THEM; 8 FOR AT ONE TIME YOU WERE DARKNESS, BUT NOW YOU ARE LIGHT IN THE LORD. WALK AS CHILDREN OF LIGHT EPHESIANS 5: 6 - 8

TRANSFORMATION STARTS WHEN YOU SEE YOURSELF LOVED AS CHILDREN OF GOD.

"LET THE LITTLE CHILDREN COME TO ME, AND DO NOT HINDER THEM, FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD BELONGS TO SUCH AS THESE. 15 I TELL YOU THE TRUTH, ANYONE WHO WILL NOT RECEIVE THE KINGDOM OF GOD LIKE A LITTLE CHILD WILL NEVER ENTER IT." MARK 10:13-15
