What does it mean to have no fellowship with the works of darkness?
Answered in 1 source
Having no fellowship with the works of darkness means rejecting sin and instead reproving such actions through a life of obedience to Christ.
In Ephesians 5:11, believers are instructed to have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather to expose them. This teaching highlights the distinction between the believer’s new life in Christ and the sinful behaviors associated with life outside of Him. It is essential for Christians to reject and not partake in sinful actions, as such fellowship undermines the witness of Christ. Reproving the works of darkness involves living a life that reflects the fruit of the Spirit and demonstrating the transformative power of the gospel. It also calls for believers to engage with the world in a way that points to Christ, bringing light into the darkness through their testimony.
