In this short but beautifully clear passage, Paul brings us back to the simplicity of the Gospel reminding us to imitate Jesus by walking in love. Though the practical application can be incredibly complex, Compassion is where we must begin in order to share God’s reconciliation and renewal with the world.
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.
