Ephesians Sermon Series #13: Family life for Christians must never be hierarchical--especially where one rules with an iron grip. This is not the way of love or that we learned Christ, but rather it starts with love from Jesus, love for Jesus, and the Love of Jesus in us loving others.
So roll up your sleeves, put your mind in gear, be totally ready to receive the gift that’s coming when Jesus arrives. Don’t lazily slip back into those old grooves of evil, doing just what you feel like doing. You didn’t know any better then; you do now. As obedient children, let yourselves be pulled into a way of life shaped by God’s life, a life energetic and blazing with holiness. God said, “I am holy; you be holy. [1 Peter 1:13-16]
