Example Bible Study

Ephesians 5: 15-21

Observations:
v15 What does circumspectly mean? In a careful and prudent way; discreetly
v17 being unwise and knowing the will of God are presented as opposites
v18 Similarly, being drunk with wine and filled with Spirit are contrasted. Interesting that being drunk makes you more confident and bold and being filled with the Spirit should do the same thing but in a different way; we should be confident and bold in sharing our faith
v21 we are called to submit to others in the fear of God. What does fearing God have to do with that?

Interpretation:
We are to be wise and discerning with our actions. Being filled with the Spirit should produce something in us that shows on the outside.

Concentration:
God wants us to understand His will, which means that the way to understand it has been given to us through the Scriptures. He isn’t trying to hide what He wants from us; He has plainly told us, we just need to search the Scriptures to find it.

Application:
This week, I want to be more aware of being filled with the Spirit. I want it to show to the people around me, but how do I do that? I need to be wise in my decisions, and bold in sharing what I believe.
