Ephesians 5:1-7

Sermon Notes: BE LIKE GOD…GOD IS LOVE GOD’S LOVE IS AUTHENTIC…IT FORGIVES, IT IS SELFLESS, SACRIFICIAL, UNLIMITED, AND UNCONDITIONAL. Ephesians 5:1-2 ESV [1] Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. [2] And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. SATAN’S LOVE (THE WORLD’S LOVE) IS COUNTERFEIT…IT IS SELFISH, LIMITED, CONDITIONAL, AND WILL NEVER SATISFY. Ephesians 5:3-5 ESV [3] But sexual immorality and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints. [4] Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving. [5] For you may be sure of this, that everyone who is sexually immoral or impure, or who is covetous (that is, an idolater), has no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. DON’T BE DESTROYED BY FALLING FOR SATAN’S COUNTERFEIT LOVE…ESPECIALLY WHEN GOD’S AUTHENTIC LOVE IS SO AWESOME AND AVAILABLE. Ephesians 5:6-7 ESV [6] Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. [7] Therefore do not become partners with them; BE LIKE GOD…GOD IS LOVE GOD’S LOVE IS AUTHENTIC…IT FORGIVES, IT IS SELFLESS, SACRIFICIAL, UNLIMITED, AND UNCONDITIONAL. SATAN’S LOVE (THE WORLD’S LOVE) IS COUNTERFEIT…IT IS SELFISH, LIMITED, CONDITIONAL, AND WILL NEVER SATISFY. DON’T BE DESTROYED BY FALLING FOR SATAN’S COUNTERFEIT LOVE…ESPECIALLY WHEN GOD’S AUTHENTIC LOVE IS SO AWESOME AND AVAILABLE.
