Paul's admonition is that Christians should exhibit a calm, self-controlled attitude and behavior that would enable them to deal effectively with whatever occurs. Such composure will assure their readiness to meet the Lord when He comes. B. Christian Conduct 1. This says something about the conduct of Christians as well as their character. In contrast to the ungodly, unholy lives of those who are not saved, Christians are to live godly, holy lives.
Christians are to live as children of the light and of the day, holy in their behavior or conduct.
We are to conduct ourselves in a godly, holy manner at all times. Christians walk as children of light, when they live in the manner that Paul dictated in Ephesians 5. That is, they are to find the will of God for their lives and live in it. Not only are we to refuse to participate in the sins of this world, we are to reprove or expose them for what they are. That means that Christians are to live carefully and wisely, knowing and practicing the will of God for their lives.
