1335: The Features of the Fool (Eph. 5:15-16) // Gospel Shaped 01 (Nathan Johnson)

In Ephesians 5:15–16, Paul delivers a sobering warning to believers: look carefully how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, redeeming the time because the days are evil. But what does it actually mean to live as “unwise” (a fool) according to Scripture? In this study, we examine what the Bible says about foolishness and uncover four key features that mark the life of a fool. If you’re convinced you don’t have any foolishness within you, take heed, as that is typically the first sign of foolishness; so let this message help you honestly evaluate whether you're walking in biblical wisdom or drifting into patterns of foolishness without realizing it. Ultimately, this message is a call to walk circumspectly and examine your life to pursue the intentional life God calls every believer to live.
