“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 KJV
The apostle Paul is saying the same thing that Jesus said to His disciples after He had washed their feet on the night that He was betrayed. Jesus shows with action first and then with words that He loves us. We cannot love one another if we haven’t experienced Christ’s love personally through the Cross. The more we think about His sacrifice on the Cross and see all our sins nailed to the Cross, we receive the exchange He made on our behalf and His forgiveness, the more we experience personally His love for us. Only then the Holy Spirit sheds abroad God’s love in our hearts to an overflowing so we are then able to walk in love - the action love that Jesus shows - and offer the continuous sacrifice of thanksgiving to Him seeing His goodness personally in our lives. Let’s make our personal exchange on the Cross so we receive His love and walk in love, giving thanks to Him at all times, in all places and in all situations. Let’s flow in God’s love!
