Our conduct should always be to us something which is inevitable in view of what we believe. That is the way I like to think of it. If my Christian Living is not quite inevitable to me, if I am always fighting against it and struggling and trying to get out of it, and wondering why it is so hard and narrow, if I find myself rather envying the people who are still back in the world, there is something radically wrong with my Christian life. Christian conduct and behavior should be inevitable — there is no argument about it. And when we are in that position, we have really got the truth of the matter clearly.
D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones, “Darkness and Light: An Exposition of Ephesians 4:17-5:17,” pg.20
