The Way of Love

Ephesians 5:2… and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

The verses after this one talk of walking pure and greedless, as God’s people.

Christ loved us and freely gave his live for us, and this smelled so nice to God, his father!  It was a “fragrant offering!”

Because Christ lives in us, we too can walk a blameless life, one of service to others, without any desire to hoard and take from others things for our own use.

We will mess up, fall, and be selfish at times, but because of his mercy, his blood, and his love, it’s covered and we are brought back up into right standing with him, when we walk in his love.

That’s the incredible nature of a life walking with Him.  It’s not that we’re perfect, but it’s that he’s perfect.  And all we are required to do is stay in him, in his word, and in his love.

He never fails.  His love endures forever.  His love sustains us.
