—Ephesians 5:1-10
by: Margaret Taylor.
As a small child, everything I learned was from my environment and its occupants: parents, grandparents, and an older sibling. I learned first who loved me and that I was secure. As I grew, I learned language, thought patterns, and habits based on childhood experiences. Now I'm told I look like my mother.
I believe this scripture clearly tells us that we are to "live with" Christ as children of God so that we may be shaped into his likeness-learning to think, speak, and act like Jesus naturally. Then, when we are thrust into "the world," we will automatically and honestly represent him.
