”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.” | Ephesians 5: 2

Here is the key to all that is commanded, expected, and needed for godliness and sanctification.

1.) Walk in love to God our Father, who has given us all things in Christ. “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:” (Ephesians 1: 3)

2.) Walk in love to Christ for the love He has for us, the relationship we have with Him, and the things He has done for us. “Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. But ye have not so learned Christ; If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:” (1 John 4: 19-21)

3.) Walk in love one to another. “And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.” (Ephesians 4: 32)

Our example of love is Christ our Lord, who loved us and gave Himself for us.

If Christ so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

This principle of love is the gift of God and is sufficient motivation for mercy, forgiveness, kindness, and all godliness.
