Reading: Ephesians 5 / 10-11
Introduction
The tendency of the human heart is to live a religion a la carte, that is to say, save for side requirements
Examine what is pleasing to the Lord
Literally "... discern what is pleasing to the Lord " = result of previous verses - see: v.8-9.
So it's not a walk with regulations (See Col.2/18-23) , but a natural reaction of one who is born again - Show: Eph.4/17-24 , which can be summarized by 2Cor.5/17 .
How behaves one born again? 1Jn 5 / 18, cf. 3/4-10 1 Jn.
Practice sin is incompatible with the nature of one who is born again ... unless ... 2Pier.3/20-22 cf. Luke 9 / 62.
How to be pleasing to the Lord?
