Walk in Love

Eph 5:1 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;

Eph 5:2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour. 

What a wonderful privilege we have as believers to follow God.  Many count it a chore, but we should consider it to be one of the greatest blessings of our lives.  We can follow one who is Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent.  He has all the power in the universe at His disposal to come to our aid in time of need.  He knows every thought that we think, every concern we have, every heartache and trial.  He is always with us.  He has promised to never leave us or forsake us.  We are to follow as dear children.  Children have such a simple, trusting faith.  They believe everything that their father says without question.  They wholly trust their father to have their best interests in mind.  My how our faith should mirror that of a child.

We are commanded to walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us.  Christ gave everything He had for us.  He gave himself for us as an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.  If Christ demonstrated His love for us by offering himself as a sacrifice, how can we do anything less.  Rom 12:1 "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service."   We need to demonstrate our love for God by offering our life a living sacrifice for others.  When people look at our lives they need to see the love of God manifested in all that we say and do.  

Walk in love and give your life in service for others!
