"But..."

December 4, 2014

“But…”

Blessings folk!

We are to be imitators of God.
We are to walk in love, as Christ love us.

Then, “the word”… “But”…

The Spirit leads Paul to deal with some specifics sins…

Ephesians 5:3
3 But sexual immorality and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints.


Sin is not to even be named among us.
It is not proper for the saints.
In this verse…specifically…

  • sexual immorality
  • impurity...all impurity
  • covetousness

Most will readily acquiesce to the immorality and impurity ban among the saints.

But, covetousness?

Covetousness is rampant within the professing Body.
Often it is forthright...greed and evil desire for something that someone else has.
Other times it is far more subtle.

There is more in the following verses.

For today...

Beware.
Be forewarned.
Covet not.
Be not impure.
Imitate God.
Walk in love.
