Ephesians 5:15-21: The Way of the Spirit

Paul teaches that living a Spirit-filled life means walking with intentional wisdom rather than drifting through life. Christians must redeem their time, understanding God's will through Scripture, and allow the Holy Spirit to influence their hearts instead of being controlled by worldly distractions. When filled with the Spirit, believers naturally overflow in three ways: worship that encourages others, gratitude that replaces complaining, and mutual submission that chooses humility over ego. This isn't mystical Christianity but normal Christian living, being fully awake to God's presence and opportunities He places before us.
