Ephesians 5:6
Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God’s wrath comes on those who are disobedient. Therefore do not be partners with them.
Reflection
Paul warns us that we shouldn’t listen to those who tell us that sin doesn’t matter to God and that God will not bring judgment upon sin. Paul tells us not to associate with or be partners with people who would teach such a thing.
Paul realizes that God takes sin seriously and he doesn’t want us to be deceived into believing that sin will be inconsequential. Paul wants us to avoid sin and he shares with us that God’s desire is that we avoid sin as well.
How does the culture and people in the culture try to tell us that sin is not important?
How should we live in the culture but not be influenced by the culture’s view on sin?
