Ephesians 5:1-20

1.Serving the Lord is doing the right thing for the right reason. Whenever Paul encourages us to serve the Lord, he always turns his exhortation into a gospel event. That is, he weaves the gospel into his encouragement in a beautiful way. How does he do this in verse 1? We are loved by God, Christ loved us and Christ gave himself up for us. 2.What is the link between immorality, impurity, and greed, on the one hand, and idolatry, on the other? Any time we sin, we make “me” god.

3.Give modern examples of empty words. Answers will vary 4.What is the light we live in? Contrast life in the light with life in the darkness. Living in faith we know and see forgiveness and the way to heaven. Darkness = unbelief. 5.What does Paul mean when he tells us to “be filled with the Spirit”? (verse 18) Grow in our faith through word and sacrament

6.Paul paints a beautiful picture in the first verse. Imagine a little boy trying to imitate his beloved father as he pounds a nail into a piece of wood. What is more natural than that?

Ephesians 5: Why will all Christians “submit to one another”? (verse 21) Out of reverence for Christ. 2.In the following sections, Paul applies the principle of submission to various people. In this section, he applies it to husbands and wives. How do wives submit to their husbands? How do husbands submit to their wives? The wife is Queen. The husband’s job is to serve and take care of the Queen. And Vice versa

3.What will a Christian wife keep in mind regarding her relationship with her husband? (verse 23) Submit to husband as the Church submits to Christ. 4.What will a Christian husband keep in mind regarding his relationship with his wife? (verses 25-29) Love wife as Christ loved the church. 5.What main characteristic of Christ’s love for the church does Paul focus on here? Putting others before self.

6.Give an example of a wife having a submissive attitude toward her husband. Answers will vary 7.Give an example of a husband loving his wife as God wants him to.
