Summary:
The passage urges believers to pay careful attention to how they live, not conducting themselves as unwise people but as wise. They are to make the most of their time because the days are evil. For that reason, they are not to live foolishly or without thought, but instead to understand what the will of the Lord is.
Teaching:
Faith does not mean living according to my own ideas simply because I say I believe in Jesus. Rather, to live by faith is to live according to what Jesus has spoken to us. Therefore, the content of our faith is also the very content that Jesus speaks. So when we say we believe in Jesus while attending church, we must now listen to Jesus to learn how we ought to live.
Wisdom is not living according to what I think. Wisdom is living as the Holy Spirit - the Spirit of wisdom and revelation - leads us.
