Life
in the Light Today's
Three-minute Bible Study In a previous study, we saw what
empty promises can lead to. Today we'll see what
life in the light is like. Passage:
Ephesians
5:6-17* 7. Therefore do not be partners
with them. 8. For you were once darkness,
but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of
light 9. (for the fruit of the light
consists in all goodness, righteousness and
truth) 10. and find out what pleases
the Lord. 11. Have nothing to do with the
fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose
them. 12. For it is shameful even to
mention what the disobedient do in secret. 13. But everything exposed by
the light becomes visible, 14. for it is light that makes
everything visible. This is why it is said: "Wake up,
O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine
on you." 15. Be very careful, then, how
you live — not as unwise but as wise, 16. making the most of every
opportunity, because the days are evil. 17. Therefore do not be foolish,
but understand what the Lord's will is. Questions 2. What do you think it means to
be children of the light? 3. If the fruit of the light is
goodness, righteousness and truth, what might the
fruit of darkness be? 4. How can you find out what
pleases the Lord? Practical
help If you feel you've slipped too
far from the light, take heart! Jesus said in John
8:12: "I am the light of the world. Whoever
follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have
the light of life." There are men around you who have
stepped from darkness into light and want to help you
do the same. God's light is bright enough to change
any life, even yours.

wrath comes on those who are disobedient.
1. What do you think it
means to be darkness?
Sometimes moving toward
darkness can seem very innocent. It's just a
place I can unwind and not worry about who sees
me. A place I can visit in anonymity —
what's the harm? Well, the darker things get, the
harder it is to see what's happening to you. You
can lose your sense of what is good and righteous and
true.
