Eph 5:2 | MHM | STEP | v. 2 : Paul continues, And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us (Ephesians 5:2 ). Love should guide all our actions and relationships. Paul points to Christ as the perfect example of love, reminding us that He gave himself for us . Jesus’ death on the cross was the ultimate act of love, as He offered Himself as an offering and a sacrifice to God to take away our sins. This sacrifice was a sweet-smelling savour to God, meaning it was pleasing and fully accepted. Just as Christ’s love led Him to give Himself for us, we should show love by putting others above ourselves and living sacrificially.
