Week 17: Ephesians 5: 1-20

Continuing in our study of sanctification, Paul tells us to "be imitators of God and walk in love." One can continue the T-chart begun in week 16 with the "don'ts," the "motive," and the "do," which are important instructions BUT always active sanctification or the outworking of salvation is rooted in the gospel of Jesus Christ. In this understanding, we know we can do nothing apart from Him, so we choose to yield to Him that He may sanctify us as we imitate Him and walk in love.
