Ephesians Series - Part 8 - Mature Love Looks Like Something

Tim continues our series on the book of Ephesians, looking at Ephesians 5:1-21. This section follows straight on from chapter 4, taking us into the practical side of mature love. In short, mature love looks like something. The Kingdom of God does require something of us in terms of our behaviour. But, it is critical to know that our behaviour doesn’t define our identity or our standing before God. The process of maturing brings our behaviour into sync with the identity and standing we already have. Verse 6 gives us a warning - DON’T BE FOOLED BY THOSE WHO TELL YOU OTHERWISE! We will be called to give an account for what we have done with what God has put in us. This is not a salvation issue, but it is a reward issue, and heaven’s reward system is not equal.
