Thought for April 7th 'as ia proper among saints ' Ephesians 5 3

First, remember that all those who really believe in God and Jesus Christ are called “saints”. The Greek word translated as saint, means, “holy, set apart.”  Saints set themselves apart from worldly godless ways of thinking and doing.  Paul’s letters are addressed to saints, “the saints who are in Ephesus”  “saints … who are in Philippi” [opening verse in each letter]. So all true believers are “saints” in God’s eyes, and therefore inspired writers like Paul had this very much in mind in sending encouraging letters to them. Note what Paul says “is proper among saints” [Ch. 5 v.3].  He writes, “But sexual immorality and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints.    Let there be no filthiness, nor foolish talk, no crude joking.” [v.3,4]  Something which is “named” is something which is talked about and discussed; yet we are often confronted with fleshly things if we watch much that is on television!  Paul’s punch line in his message is – “you may be sure of this, that everyone who is sexually immoral or impure, or who is covetous, that is an idolater, has no inheritance in the kingdom of God.” [v.5]   A @Christadelphians Video: ************ This video was produced by the ChristadelphianVideo.org project, arranged and supported by Christadelphians worldwide. ** ChristadelphianVideo.org ** Main site: https://cdvideo.org/ NEW ON CHRISTADELPHIANVIDEO.ORG!
