Ephesians
5:2
…Walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us,
and hath given Himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a
sweet-smelling savor.
Believers
are encouraged to walk in love as this manifest Christ as well as following His
example set before us. It is noteworthy to say that being a Christian is being
Christ-like; therefore, walking in love shows our commitment, obedience and
loyalty to Christ our Savior. Walking in love expresses the believer's
gratitude for Christ being our sacrificial lamb removing the alienation that
existed between God the Father and the human race.
It
is noteworthy to say, walking in love as love is one of the fruit of the spirit
which is a characteristics of God (Galatians 5:22-23). Other fruit of the spirit
are joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, good, and faith, meekness and
temperance. Love is the greatest of all as God is love and His love was
displayed in His plan of salvation.
God
is pleased when all His children obey His commandments as this signifies
believers' loyalty, obedience and a committed faith to our Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ.
How are believers able to walk in love?
This is achieved by yielding to the indwelling Holy Spirit. Does the world see
the love of Christ manifested in your Christian walk? Remember a tree is known
by the fruit it bears.
To
walk in love emulate Christ as believers show love to God and others.
