Did you pass your driving test first time?

Rules, rules, rules...
Short term freedom is there...but we can crash...we need a highway-code of sorts, don't we?
If we don't allow scripture to challenge us in places where our modern culture is doing it's best to squeeze us into it's own pattern and away from our God-ordained way of living, then what use is it?

Look up Ephesians 5:22-6:9 later for a parallel!
Two rules: one for the wife, one for the husband.
If we'll follow these rules we can have a very happy marriage and a happy relationship, if we don’t, we're going to bring misery into our marriage...

There are still different roles for men and women in the home and in the church, but, no difference exists in standing before God through faith in Jesus.
Single ladies and single guys, pay attention!
Love like this can be known only from the actions it prompts.
God's love is seen in the gift of His Son…

Propitiation - 'pro-pi-she-ay-shn'
The word propitiation carries the basic idea of appeasement or satisfaction, specifically toward God.
Propitiation is a two-part act that involves appeasing the wrath of an offended person and being reconciled to him.
The only way for God’s wrath against sinful man to be appeased and for us to be reconciled to God is through Jesus Christ.
There is no other way.

Fathers here can refer to both parents.
As we put on the new self and walk in Christ, we will obey our earthly masters - in a modern context, our employer or supervisor.

Is this you at work? Do you work for eye service, to please people, only when watched? Or do you work as if God has put you on this task?!
Do you work well, work hard, work properly?
Are you compassionate, kind, humble, honest, transparent, truthful?
Are you representing well?

Remember, answer the questioner, not the question!
In some people's minds, Christians are boring, dull and uptight...How do we counter this image other than getting out there with our gracious and salty speech, full of wit?!
Remember, our new self is like a tamed wild horse, get out there and use that power!

‘The Christian must commend his message with the charm and the wit which were in Jesus himself. There is too much of the Christianity which...depresses a man and too little of the Christianity which scintillates with life.’
So, are you scintillating?
Is your life exciting?
Is you conversation sparkling?
Is it seasoned with grace and salt?

Take a moment and think about a non-Christian friend you’ve got...
Maybe you’ve been praying for them for a while...
Maybe you can talk to them this week...
Reach out and be yourself...
If they’re here, buy them lunch of a coffee...
Just be yourself, but actually be there.

All of that theological, Christological, profound brain-knowledge that we acquired from chapters one and two makes little difference until it's applied, does it…
Knowing...
Doing...
What can you do in light of this amazing knowledge you have of Christ?

Everything has come to this, the crescendo of his letter...know this...but go and be like this, do this, reach people, be out there, be yourselves, not constrained, free, just go and be...
Knowing that in everything, for everything, Christ is supreme and sufficient...how...because He is God.

Let us be out and out for Christ - in the home, at work, in prayer, and in public...ready to explain with grace and salt why we love Him.
Let's live for Him privately, prayerfully, and publicly.
