Walk in Love

“Be imitators of God, as beloved children; and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us” (Eph. 5:1-2a). The Bible often uses “walk” to refer to how we conduct our lives on a daily basis. In this passage, the Apostle Paul exhorts us to “walk in love.” Our lives should be characterized by love in everything we do and say.

The kind of love we are to demonstrate is the self-sacrificing, unconditional love that characterized Christ when He lived on this earth. While He never condoned anyone’s sin, He always sought the best for people no matter what their lifestyle was. People from all walks of life were drawn to Him because they were convinced that He truly loved them. Ultimately, He showed how much He loved every one of us by giving His life as the sacrifice for our sin. Christ left us quite an example to follow, didn’t He?

In 1 Cor. 13:4-7a, Paul describes what our love should look like. “Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices when the truth wins out. Love never gives up.” Let’s strive to Walk in Love as we imitate Christ’s love for us.
