Each week of devotions throughout our Live Worthy series on Ephesians will be spent on a single chapter. We encourage you to re-read the chapter each day. Additionally, we will focus on a few key verses each day. This week, we will focus on chapter 5 of Ephesians
Read Ephesians 5
Walking in Love
“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.” Ephesians 5:1-2
Paul describes us as “dearly loved children.” Consequently, our lives should naturally reflect the character of our Father.
Christ’s love is the pattern: not self-serving, but self-giving. His sacrifice on the cross was not just an act of mercy toward us but an offering pleasing to God.
To “walk in love” means this love shapes our daily decisions, words, and priorities. It is active, not passive — love that costs us something. In a world that defines love by feelings, Paul defines it by sacrifice.
Question to Ponder: How can my love today reflect both the sacrifice and the purity of Christ’s love?
