In the fifth chapter of Ephesians, the apostle Paul exhorts believers to live the way they should be, which is to be as a child of God and an ambassador of His Kingdom. This chapter is not just a moralistic teaching so we can all be nice. It's also not simply a list of dos and don’ts to make us “good enough” for God. It’s actually an explanation of what it looks like to live a life of love. It’s not “avoid fornication, uncleanness, idolatry, and the like so that you can be a saint.” Rather, it’s “you are a saint; now live in a manner befitting one.”
