In AD62-63, Luke told us that Paul was under house arrest in Rome. He spent this two-year period preaching about the kingdom of God and wrote his four prisons epistles (Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, and Philemon) during this time. Paul wrote that we are to have unity and maturity in Christ Jesus, the head. Paul goes on to give us critical instructions for Christian living. Let us live the life of the calling we have or will receive. He instructs us to be made new in our attitudes of the mind and to put on the new self. Paul said to get rid of all bitterness and every form of malice. But to be kind and passionate of each other. And to live as children of light. Exposing the deeds of darkness.

Give back to those in need. That’s what God tells us to do; without looking for anything in return. We’d better watch how we live for it is a dangerous situation to be allowed to wake up only to discover that God has withdrawn Himself from us. Be careful how you live and make the most of every opportunity because the days are evil.
