Be Imitators of GOD

Ephesians 5:1-7, "Be imitators of GOD, therefore as dearly beloved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave Himself for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to GOD.

"But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for GOD's holy people. Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk, or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather (give) thanksgiving.

"For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person - such as an idolater - has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of GOD. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things GOD's wrath comes on those who are disobedient.

"Therefore, DO NOT be partners with them."

"By your fruits (works) they will know you." (Matthew 7:16) The things you say and do as well as the people you associate with and what they say and do will be your witness to everyone around you. Do you "hang out" with the wrong people who don't glorify GOD by their attitudes, dispositions, and personalities? If you do, I pray it is to share the message of salvation to them.  Only harm can come to those who act in these ungodly manners. But, GOD has a blessing for any who comes to Him in repentance. "Come to Me, ye who are heavy laden and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28)
Be an imitator of GOD!
