This study on Ephesians 5:15–21 emphasizes three commands for living a Spirit-filled life: walking wisely, redeeming the time, and being filled with the Spirit. It defines wisdom biblically as the “fear of the Lord” and a life committed to understanding and doing God’s will. The study explains that “redeeming the time” means intentionally making the most of every opportunity, especially in an “evil” world. It contrasts being filled with the Spirit with being drunk, explaining that a Spirit-filled life is one of being controlled by God. This filling is manifested in mutual worship, gratitude, and submission.
