How God calls believers to “walk in love” through the giving of ourselves, putting others first, and showing compassion in daily acts of kindness is the focus of this episode. In Ephesians 5:1, the Apostle Paul exhorts the Church to “Be ye therefore followers [imitators] of God, as dear children,” linking back to the kindness, tenderheartedness, and forgiveness of Ephesians 4:32 and calling us to mimic our Father’s communicable attributes, like a mime expresses actions without words, motivated purely by His love for us. Ephesians 5:2 then commands us to “walk in love,” imitating Christ’s voluntary, self-sacrificing love by giving ourselves fully to the Lord and to others as a living sacrifice that brings glory to Him.
