It emphasizes the importance of a balanced approach: avoiding unfruitful works of darkness while actively engaging and persuading those in darkness, rather than simply denouncing or withdrawing.
  • The need for Christians to walk in wisdom is rooted in the contrast between light and darkness.

There is nothing that beggars your own sense of wisdom than to study what the Bible says about divine wisdom.

Ephesians 5 tells us a lot about wisdom. And it shows us that biblical wisdom puts God in the center in a way that develops three aspects of wisdom.

We see in these verses 1) why we need to walk in wisdom, and 2) what it means to walk in wisdom.

This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on June 9, 1991. Series: Christian Lifestyle. Scripture: Ephesians 5:11-17.
