Walk In Love
\nAnd walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given Himself
\nfor us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling savour.
\nEph 5:2
\nHere we see the motive for the performance of all duties and
\nresponsibilities (which are really privileges and blessings) of
\nbelievers in regard to Christ and each other. The child of God needs not
\na law or rules to direct him in his walk or govern his life. He has what
\nhe needs \u2013 Christ\u2019s love for him. With Christ and His love for us in
\nview how could we not love Him and our brethren. The love of God
\nmanifest in Christ giving Himself for us \u201cis shed abroad in our hearts
\nby the Holy Ghost which is given unto us\u201d Romans 5:5. This love is
\nmanifest in our conversation or, walk, not just lip service \u2013 \u201cMy little
\nchildren, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in
\ntruth\u201d 1John 3:18. Our Lord, constrained by love, lived His life for His
\nsheep and died for His sheep. Because He loves His own He now provides
\nfor us, He protects us, He comforts us, He forgives us, He intercedes
\nfor us, He blesses us with all Spiritual blessings and all temporal
\nblessings. He walked in love here on this earth until His death, and now
\nHe reigns in love at the right hand of the Father. It is His desire
\n(which shall be accomplished) that all whom He loves shall be with Him
\nin Glory, eternally. Is this not the motive and attitude of those who
\nknow Him? To be like Him? My brethren, because He walked in love for us
\neverything will be alright. As the body of Christ walks in love for Him,
\nHis gospel and for one another, everything will be alright. As we are
\nmere mortals there will be difficulties, trials, and misunderstandings.
\nHowever, as we walk in love, as Christ gave Himself for us and loves us,
\nwe will have peace and seek peace, we will give comfort be comforted, we
\nwill forgive and be forgiven.
