In his letter to the Ephesians, the Apostle Paul addressed the reality of what it means to know, love, and follow Christ. Teaching from Ephesians 5:5-6, Alistair Begg reminds us that those God has justified, He will also purify through the continuing process of sanctification. The ground of our salvation is established in the work Jesus Christ has done, but the evidence of that salvation is in our response toward ungodliness, and is an ongoing result of the work being done in us. (Scripture: Ephesians 5:5-6)

Christians have a new identity in Christ that should be reflected in our lifestyle. Alistair Begg reminds us that walking in a manner worthy of the calling we have received involves speaking truthfully, distinguishing righteous from unrighteous anger, and working diligently in order to give generously. When the Church cultivates this kind of lifestyle, it denies the devil a foothold in our lives and testifies to the power of the Gospel. (Scripture: Ephesians 4:25-28)
