VERSE:
Ephesians 5:1-2
1 Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children 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.
LESSON:
Love - God's Love!
In this verse we are told that God forms the most perfect example of what it means to "Love". It tells us that we are loved by God, and therefore should "...walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us...". God is calling us to a new understanding of "Love" in the New Year and in this our next day of life here on earth. It is a "sacrificial love". Not one that demands something for self...but one that freely gives everything first to others. Take a few moments today to think about what your definition of "Love" is. Does your definition match God's definition? I would encourage you to consider adopting God's definition of "Love" as quickly and joyfully as you can today.
