Ephesians 5; 1 Corinthians 6; Ephesians 5

I study your ways, Father, to be a person conformed to the image of Christ Jesus. I walk in love, first of all, recognizing and remembering that Christ loves me and gave himself for me, as a sweet and perfectly satisfying offering.

He purchased me at an infinite price. Now, gladly, I am no longer my own, rather I belong to you, Father.

I am forgiven of my past sins, and sinfulness no longer owns me. Filthiness, coarseness, covetousness, and lusts are no longer part of me. Now, in Christ, I live in thankfulness acting through love.

In the past, I lived in darkness, but now I live in the light of the Lord Jesus. I walk as a child of light. I love to live a life acceptable to you, Father. What joy it is to live in your will.

Holy Spirit, you fill me, and I speak with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs. I sing and make melody in my heart to you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, giving thanks always for all things.
