Ephesians 5:7-8a
Every person used to live in darkness. This is the doctrine called Original Sin. We don’t become alienated from God because of our sins. We are born as sinners in need of a Savior (Eph. 2:1-3). Paul refers to our state before Jesus as a state of darkness. In our darkness, we are confused (Job 5:14), live in spiritual ignorance (John 1:5) and spiritual blindness (2 Cor. 4:4). Left to ourselves, we are satisfied to stay in darkness (John 3:19).
At some point in the believer’s life, Jesus came. He met us where we were and shone his light on our sinful hearts allowing us to understand our need of him (2 Cor. 4:6). He “delivered us from the dominion of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son” (Col. 1:13-14).
Ephesians 5:8b-10
When believers are transferred into Christ’s kingdom, we are to “walk as children of light.” Since Jesus is the light of the world, whoever follows him walks in light (John 8:12). The believer strives to live a life that is pleasing to the Lord doing what is good, right, and true.
Ephesians 5:11-14
Part of living a life pleasing to God involved refraining from parting in the “unfruitful works of darkness.” Paul has already described six works of darkness in 5:3-4 and these works are seen throughout Scripture.
