The Enormous Personal Transformation Which Becoming A Christian Really Is (Ephesians 5:8-10)

We learn from these verses 8-10 about the enormous contrast between a man's condition before his conversion to Christ and afterwards. Formerly he was in a horrible Satan-inspired darkness; now he lives in glorious light. Formerly he was a child of wrath and far off from God, now he is a new creature with a new nature. He has been rescued from Satan's kingdom, and brought into God’s kingdom. He now has the Holy Spirit within him.

This complete transformation brings obligations with it. True Christians must “walk as children of light". There must be a manifestation of the fruits of the Spirit in all goodness and righteousness and truth. A true son of God will exhibit his transformed status by applying his mind to putting to death all his former sin, endeavouring always to do the perfect will of God.

May the Lord help each one of us to walk as children of light.
