These chapters in the book of Ephesians give us some of the most practical principles for how to live the victorious life God intended for us. Many Christians live a defeated, mediocre spiritual life because they do not understand these principles. It has everything to do with what fills your heart.
Jesus said, “The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth what is good.” That’s the key; but where does that good treasure come from? There are a lot of things in this world that you can take into your heart that will poison your soul. Worldly inputs are everywhere around us. Therefore, the way you live your life has everything to do with what you put into your soul.
A case in point; it was announced in the news this week that the Cleveland Browns have released quarterback Johnny Manziel. The Heisman Trophy winner, also known as Johnny Football, has seen his career come crashing down because he repeatedly made the decision to imbibe in all that the world has to offer. We all carry in our flesh the same desires. Jesus taught that the life is lived from that which fills the heart.
That’s why the book of Ephesians is so powerful; as Paul prayed for us in Chapter 3: if we would be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man and rooted and grounded in love, if we could comprehend the breadth, the length, the height and depth, and to experience the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, and if we could be filled up to all the fullness of God, then we would know that God is able to do exceedingly abundantly beyond all that we ask or even think according to the power that works within us, and then we would have the treasures in our heart that would bring forth what is good in our lives.
In the last couple of chapters Paul has been contrasting the life of those who walk according to the principles of the world. They are darkened in their understanding, excluded from the life of God; they give themselves over to worldly things.
Those who are strengthened with power in the inner man, experience the love of Christ and are filled up to all the fullness of God, want godly things in their lives. They desire the joy of the Spirit, peace that passes understanding, meaning and purpose, and to bring forth what is good in their lives.
That contrast is summarized in verse 18, “Do not get drunk with wine, but be filled with the Spirit.” Paul then takes that spiritual truth and applies it to the specific areas of our lives where we live day in and day out. Faith that is living and active will have a direct impact on our relationships. When we are filled with the life of the Spirit, it changes how we live.
