DAILY BIBLE VERSE OF THE DAY 18 APRIL 2022, MONDAY
And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma. – Ephesians 5:2, NKJV
And walk in love, as the Messiah also loved us and gave Himself for us, a sacrificial and fragrant offering to God. HCSB
As His children, we are called to imitate our Father in heaven. We are to be like Him in thought, word, deed, and motive. We are to follow His example and use Him as our role model for our inner life, and our hidden moments… as well as our outer behaviour and attitude towards others. Just as God is holy, we are to be holy in all our conduct.
The only way we can imitate the immortal, omnipotent God is to look to Christ, Who is the image of the invisible God in every godly attribute. His food was to do the will of the Father Who sent Him and we are to be like Him and carry out His will and purpose for us. But there is so much more to Christlikeness than doing what He did. We are to be transformed into the image and likeness of Christ. As Paul wrote we are to be perfect, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.
We are to be God’s representatives on earth… and before He ascended into heaven, the Lord Jesus gave us a new commandment, that we love one another in the same way that Christ loved us and gave Himself for us. In Ephesians 5, Paul exhorts all of us to “walk in love.” Indeed, the time that the Lord Jesus lived on earth can be described as a life-walk of love – a life which from start to finish was exercised in love.
