REDEEM THE TIME

Ephesians 5:15-17
Holy Bible. New Living Translation copyright © 1996, 2004 by Tyndale Charitable Trust.

Living by the Spirit’s Power

15 So be careful how you live. Don’t live like fools, but like those who are wise. 16 Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days. 17 Don’t act thoughtlessly, but understand what the Lord wants you to do.

The Apostle Paul gave advice to the Ephesian Christians to redeem the time because of the evil day (v.16). If you wish to avoid being foolish and desire to understand the Lord’s will, you will redeem (buy, get or win back) the time (v.17).

God definitely cares about how well a person manages time. The first principle of time management is recognizing the value of time and redeeming it … buying it up and using it carefully as the priceless resource which it represents.
