What Does Ephesians 5:19 Mean?
One mark of being filled with the Spirit is song: 'psalms and hymns and spiritual songs.' The full heart overflows in praise, and believers encourage one another as they sing. Worship in music binds the community together and lifts every heart toward God.
This singing is 'in your heart to the Lord.' True praise is not merely on the lips but rises from within, directed to God Himself. The melody that matters most is the one in the heart. A Spirit-filled life is a singing life, glad in God and pouring out that gladness in song.
