Ephesians 5:1 Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
Christians have the security of knowing that they have been adopted by God as His beloved children. This adoption came at the cost of Jesus being forsaken on the cross.
Now Christians have the calling to follow God's example and love in the same way as the Father loves us - through giving ourselves away. After all - He gave His Son over to death so that believers can live!
Prayer
Father God, we long to follow your example and love you and the world as you have loved us. Please give us the deep security that comes from believing that we are your beloved children. Only knowing who we are in Christ can help us to walk in this love, always seeking to please you by giving ourselves away in good deeds. Amen
