Ephesians Part 13
Have you ever heard the phrase “imitation is the greatest form of flattery” in our passage this week, we will see the first command that Paul gives us is to imitate God, how can we do this though as fallen creatures. First off we never do this alone, as Nate talked about last week, we have the Holy Spirit. Second we can do this because we are children of God, adopted into his family, we should be imitators of out heavenly father. Paul then gives us two way to do this, walking in love and walking in Light.
