Welcome to 15 Minutes in the Word with New York Times best-selling author Joyce Meyer.

On today's program, Joyce will be teaching from her series, The Book of Ephesians.

When we look at the book of Ephesians, Paul's words are foundational for every believer.

They help us to understand who we are in Christ, how much he loves us, and how we can grow a stronger,

more intimate relationship with God. So today, let's go deeper in God's word. Listen as Joyce

walks through Ephesians chapter by chapter, showing us how we can apply its truths to our lives.

Now, here's Joyce with today's series on the book of Ephesians.

All right, Ephesians chapter 5.

Let's just read a few of these first verses just to talk about clean living.

I'm sure you can't hardly wait.

Here you go.

I love verse 1, therefore be an imitator of God, copy him and follow his example as well-beloved children imitate their father. And the next thing he says is, and walk in love. Well, you know,

love just really covers everything. I mean, to be honest with you, I can just tell the absolute truth.

You could, you could forget everything that I said tonight and do nothing but focus on walking in love,

and you'd have all the rest of it covered.

Because love never does any harm to anyone.

Love is always patient, it's always kind, it's always good, it's always humble,

it's never jealous, it's never envious it's always humble, it's never jealous,

it's never envious, it always believes the best, it never gives up on people, it's not haughty,

it's not high-minded, it is not touchy, it's not easily offended. Amen? And that's 1st Corinthians 13, about 1 through 8, something like that.

And so honestly and truly, if you don't want to think about all these other behaviors,

I've learned in my life, I just study love a lot and I focus on trying to love God and love people.
