Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. 2 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 5:1-2 (NKJV)
Want to be pleasing to God? You’ve got to be like Him. Want to be like Him? You’ve got to become like Christ. We often think that loving people means doing nice things, giving gifts, or spending quality time with them. Christ showed love by giving up His life. Love is the ability to die daily.
