Children of Light: Ephesians 5:1-20
Follow God's example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
Follow God's example. Mimesis—imitation. Children imitate their parents. We learn by watching. And we are to watch God.
Dearly loved children. The basis for imitation. Not slaves trying to earn favor. Children who are already loved. The love comes first; the imitation follows.
Walk in the way of love. The Christian life is a walk—a journey, a pattern, a direction. And the way is love.
