| Be Imitators of God |
|
| |
Wow this is awesome! During my sermon prep last week this is one of the scripture verses God kept bringing me to. I didn't include it but it kept running around in my spirit afterwards. Walking in love is being an imitator of God. He has loved us and set an example for us to follow now it's up to us to keep walking in His leadership. The fragrant offering part was what I was drawn to in my studies with the "What Does Revival Smell Like?" title. Jesus was a fragrant offering to God. Not because God enjoyed watching Jesus die but because Jesus did it with His whole heart. He was completely obedient to the Lord and it pleased God to forgive mankind through His offering. Praises to the God of heaven and the Lord Jesus Christ. Just as God sacrificially showed his love to us, should love one another in the same way. Putting others ahead of ourselves.
5:1 Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. 5:2 And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. |
