Ephesians 5:14-21

(Ephesians 5:14-21) Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. The Apostle Paul spoke of the children of light. 『Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light』The sleeping one wakes up, and he says to rise from the dead. The sleeping are among the dead. The dead are those who have left God. The spirit is dead. Those who sleep are not dead. Those who sleep are those who realize that they have left God. So, the spirits have risen again. In Matthew 8:21-22『 And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead. 』 Sleeping and dead seem the same, but the dead are dead, and the sleeping are the awakening of the spirit. The sleeping ones arise when Jesus Christ shines light. However, the dead cannot rise. Those who sleep are those who repent, and those who are dead are those who do not repent. In John 1:4-5, 『In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. "The person in the dark is the person who does not repent. In Chapter 1:11, 『He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 』 『 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. 』((Ephesians 5:15-16) Here, "Save time, and the time is evil."Time means being in the material world. In other words, the material world is evil. Because there is no God in the material world. It is to realize that human beings in the material world are those who have left God. So, repent and return to God. By the way, I put my heart in this world and my heart becomes dull, so I don't understand God's kingdom and I become a dead person. 『but as wise』 Wisdom is through the Scriptures to realize that humans are beings who have left God. So the one who realizes gains the wisdom of God. When Saint preaches the word of God, believers gain wisdom. In 1 Corinthians 1:23-24『But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. 』 Those who are wise know that salvation is associated with Jesus Christ. In Matthew 7:24 『Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:』 Those who act are those who are united with Jesus. 『Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. (Ephesians 5:17) Those who do not act are mingled. 『And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; Those who are drunken are those who speak utterly. So, in many churches today, those who say that the Holy Spirit and the law must be kept are drunken. They say through the law whether they have sinned or not, and when it is found that they have sinned, they repent, forgiven their sins with the blood of Jesus, so they live a life filled with the Holy Spirit. But those who are in Christ are free from the law. The old man died because he was killed by the law, and he became a man by the power of the Holy Spirit. Those who follow the law do not have the Holy Spirit. Only those in Christ are filled with the Holy Spirit. 『 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; 』 Only those who are in Jesus Christ, the spirit raised, can praise. Those who are dead are the children of Satan. Those who rely on the name of Jesus Christ are the ones whose spirit has been raised. In order for the spirit to survive, the flesh is the ones who died on the cross with Jesus. They are dead by the law.

Ephesians 1:15-23

(Ephesians 1:15-23) Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, Which is his ...

Ephesians 3:1-11

(Ephesians 3:1-11) For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ) Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel: Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power. Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ; And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who ...
