Notes

Ephesians 5:19–20

with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs: Lives filled with the Holy Spirit will show themselves through singing and making music (Colossians 3:16–17). Joyful praise, worship, and giving thanks are good responses to God's saving grace.
Speak to one another: Singing together strengthens the body of Christ.
The Lord hears the music in our hearts. The Lord knows and values our sincere worship, even when it is not expressed out loud but comes from deep inside us.
In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ: Jesus Christ is our mediator and representative as we approach God (compare John 14:13^–14; 16:23–27; Revelation 22:4).
