Ephesians 5:11-14
v11 Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.
v12 For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret.
v13 But everything exposed by the light becomes visible,
v14 for it is light that makes everything visible. This is why it is said:
"Wake up, O sleeper,
rise from the dead,
and Christ will shine on you."

Here it says to have NOTHING to do with darkness. It means do not even go near it or even be in it. Stay clear from sin. We WILL continue to sin, but we must do ALL our best to stop sinning. It also says fruitless deeds. Whatever we do will be judged by God when we die. Whatever that we do that is pleasing to God gives us eternal treasure. While everything not pleasing (sins) will NOT give us eternal treasure. Therefore, it is fruitless.

We must be work to be open to everyone. All our dirty secrets should be exposed. If you are afraid of being exposed, you will work hard to stop doing sinful stuff. Simple as that. Jesus Christ has died on the cross and rose again to save us! He gave us life, so that we may shine for Him. Let us shine for God and glorify His precious name! Praise God!
