Therefore become imitators of God [copy Him and follow His example], as well-beloved children [imitate their father]; and walk continually in love [that is, value one another–practice empathy and compassion, unselfishly seeking the best for others], just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and sacrifice to God [slain for you, so that it became] a sweet fragrance.
EPHESIANS 5:1-2 AMP
Glory and honour be unto God for this beautiful day and the opportunity to rejoice and be glad in it
Today’s scripture is requesting of us to imitate God. This is a challenge meant to shape our lives and enable us to live Christ centred lives. Copy the Father and follow His example.
Imitating the Heavenly Father who out of Love gave His only begotten son to die to save the world, requires a big heart. We are being called upon to demonstrate this love to one another practically. Love gives, so just as the Father gave His only begotten son, we should be able to sacrifice for others.
We should seek the interest of others as we imitate the Father. The death of Jesus Christ on the Cross to save ALL gives us another example of sacrifice and love that is expected of us. May the Lord help us in Jesus name.
May the Lord help us to seek the best for others as we imitate Him. Help us Lord to walk continually in love so that we can abide by the scriptures. Be our guide in Jesus Mighty name. Amen
