We need to keep in mind: - We always need to remember the indicatives come before the imperatives - We have the promised Holy Spirit - These are our Christian duties
We exchange stealing for diligent labor (Eph. 4:28 | Ex. 20:15 | Mark 10:19 | Rom. 13:9) - labor: toil, strive, or struggle - The Bible has a very high view of work (Gen. 2:15 | Ex. 20:9 | Prov. 6:6 | Ps. 104:23 | 1 Thes. 4:11 | Mark 6:3 | Acts 20:33 | 2 Thes. 3:10) - "performing with his own hands what is good" (Rom 6:11-13, 19) - The purpose of work is to share
We exchange unwholesome speech for edifying, God glorifying speech (Eph. 4:29, 5:4 | Matt. 12:36 | James 3:1-12 | Ex. 20:16, 7 | ) - unwholesome: of such poor quality to be of little or no value - edification: something that builds up (Prov. 25:11 | Col. 3:8, 17, 4:6 | Titus 2:8)
Grievous words will grieve God the Spirit (Eph. 4:30 | Is. 63:10) - The Spirit is our guarantee that we will be redeemed in the fullest sense (Eph. 1:13-14)
