"Redeeming the time, because the days are evil." Ephesians 5:16. The days are evil, aren't they. But, evil has been on the earth since Adam and Eve decided to go their own way. That brought disaster, and the time has not gotten better. Jesus had to die so that we could be redeemed from our sin, and purify our soul. God wants us to "redeem the time" because of the evil of our time. We all wish that we could call back time and relive our days. We, like Adam and Eve, have walked in our own way, and made our share of mistakes. Let's go ahead and call them what they are--sins. How do we redeem the time since we cannot relive any of our days and undo anything that we have done? We realize that the "days are evil" and we must live with caution and dependance upon God. We watch so that we do not fall into any more traps that are set by Satan. We turn our attention upon those Godly principals that are set forth in the word of God so that we can live and walk in a way that pleases our Creator. We understand that each moment is precious, and that heaven or hell is only a step away. We "redeem the time" when we seek God and allow him to control our heart and life.
