Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes on those who are disobedient. Therefore do not be associated with them. For once you were darkness, but now in the Lord you are light. Live as children of light—for the fruit of the light is found in all that is good and right and true. Try to find out what is pleasing to the Lord. Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them. For it is shameful even to mention what such people do secretly; but everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for everything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says, “Sleeper, awake! Rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.” (Ephesians 5:6-14, NRSV)
Everything done in the dark will be exposed to the light.
So do not deceive yourself. God knows your heart and where you are.
And do not be deceived by others, who will lead you astray from where God has led you.
Live as children of the light producing fruit that lasts and shows forth His grace.
