Summary

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. Today's podcast is brought to you by Gospel in Life, the site for all sermons, books, study guides and resources from Timothy Keller and Redeemer Presbyterian Church.

0:00.0	Welcome to Gospel and Life.
0:05.6	What makes the Christian lifestyle truly distinct?
0:09.5	Many belief systems emphasize moral behavior, but Christianity offers something deeper, a radical

0:48.3	And there's other times in which you look at a subject and you think about a subject,
0:52.1	you pray about a subject, and instead you get nothing but a kind of growing sense of your inadequacy to give a decent exposition of it.
0:59.7	And I'm in the latter condition tonight because we're going to talk about wisdom.
1:04.8	And there's nothing that beggars your own sense of wisdom and your own wisdom,
1:11.9	then to study what the Bible says about divine wisdom.
1:14.2	So I'm going to do what I can to try to show you what the biblical teaching and issues are,
1:20.8	and we'll have to ask the Spirit to convict us and show us where we should go.
1:24.2	Let me just show you Ephesians Chapter 5. And I'd like to read just from,
1:34.3	okay, let's read from verse 13 through 17.
1:41.3	Ephesians 5, 13 to 17.
1:52.3	But everything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible.
1:57.2	For it is light that makes everything visible, and this is why it is said,
