I love how this chapter provides answers to so many questions. Perhaps there are answers here to some of your questions. God wants us to have wisdom and understanding. He wants us to live an abundant life and He wants to provide us with an even better hope of an eternity spent with Him. Read more here.
Ephesians 5:8
As Christians we know that good works aren’t done to earn salvation, but rather the manifestation of our love for God. For because He gave His only Son, Jesus Christ, to pay our sin debt, (John 3:16) no longer are we trapped in darkness. Now we are surrounded by the light of the grace, love, and righteousness that is the Lord. And out of gratitude for that magnificent gift, God asks that we pay it forward by letting our actions be examples for the world of that glorious Light shining within us.
