QUESTION: What does Ephesians 5:18 mean? How can one be filled with
the Spirit?
ANSWER: In Ephesians 5:18-19 and Colossians 3:16, which are parallel
passages (with each passage explaining the other), Paul is discussing music in
the church. In the Ephesian letter, as he begins, he commands, “but be filled with
the Spirit.” In the parallel passage of the Colossian letter, as he begins, he
commands, “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly.” He is saying the same
thing! Conclusion: We are filled with the Spirit as we let the word of Christ dwell
in us richly!
