When you experience the guidance of the gospel, God gives you the will and strength to obey the imperatives of the gospel, which has restored your relationships ruined by sin!
In Ephesians 4:25-32, we see several restorative imperatives for relationships.
- Ephesians 4: 25-32: “Therefore.
- Leaving the lie.
- Let each one tell the truth to his neighbour.
- For we are members of one another.
- Get in there and don’t sin; Do not let the sun set upon your wrath.
- And do not surrender to the devil; the one who has flown no longer flies; Work rather.
- Do with your own hands what is good.
- So that you have to help the needy; Do not let clumsy words come out of your mouth.
- But only those who are good at building.
- If necessary.
- And thus transmit grace to those who listen; and do not sadden the Spirit of God.
- In whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
- Turn away from you all bitterness.
- Anger.
- Anger.
- Cries.
- Blasphemy.
- And malice; be rather kind and compassionate to each other.
- Forgive one another.
- As God in Christ has forgiven you.
1. Tell the truth 😕 Leaving the lie, is everyone telling your neighbor the truth?
2. When you are offended, do not enjoy your wrath: Be angry and not sin; don’t let the sun set on your wrath, and don’t give up on the devil.
3. When you are wrong, repent in a tangible way: “He who has flown no longer steals; work instead, do with your own hands what is good, so that you have to help the needy. Repentance is a change in attitude”. that produces a change of behavior!
4. Speak politely and carefully 😕 Do not leave clumsy words out of your mouth, but only those that are good to build, if necessary, and thus convey grace to those who hear them.
5. No be saddened to the Holy Ghost: And do not grid the Spirit of God, in whom you have been sealed for the day of redemption.
6. Reject all kinds of sexual immorality: “But insolence and all kinds of impurities or greed are not even mentioned among you, as is the best thing for the saints; 4 No ridiculous conversation, no empty words, no chatrtion, things so inconvenient; rather, on the contrary, Thanksgiving. ? (Eph 5. 3)
Ephesians 1-4
God chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and irrepressible in his presence (Ephesians 1. 4).
God predestined us to be adopted as children by Jesus Christ, according to the good purpose of His will, for the praise of His glorious grace, which He gave us free of charge in the Beloved (Ephesians 1:5 to 6).
In it we have redemption for his blood, forgiveness of sins, according to the richness of God’s grace (Eph 1. 7).
4. IN HIM we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of the One who does all things according to the purpose of HIS will, so what? let us be to the praise of his glory. (Ephesians 1,11)
God sealed us with the Holy Spirit of promise (Ephesians 1:13)
6. “We were dead in our wrongs and sins. But GOD, who is rich in mercy, by the great love with which he loved us, gave us life with Christ” (Ephesians 2-5).
God guarantees that He will resurrect us with Christ and with Him He will sit us in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus (Ephesians 2. 6).
8. GOD saved us by his grace! By faith, and this does not come from us, it is a gift from GOD; not by works, so that no one may boast (Ephesians 2:8-9).
