All In – Ephesians 5:1 (NIV)

All In – Ephesians 5:1 (NIV)

1 Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children 2 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.

Pretty heavy ask here. As children who long to grow up to be their father, follow your heavenly Father’s example. His example is love. To illustrate the point, Paul points to the perfect example of the Son walking in love as a child of God.

Christ’s perfect obedience was the ultimate example of walking in love. He put all aside for the Father. Even in the end when He prayed the cup pass from Him "yet not my will, but yours be done.”

All in obedience. All in sacrifice. All in love. All in.
