The word walk is used 8 times in Ephesians. Paul encourages them to imitate God and to walk as Christ did in the way of love, loving others as he loved us. The way of love has a fragrant smell of the aroma of Christ. Our Christian walk should reveal that we are born again. A mature Christian imitates God as dearly loved children and walks in the way of love as Jesus did by offering himself up on the cross. How is your Christian walk?

We should guard our Christian lifestyles so that there is not even a hint of sexual immorality, greed, or impurity. We need to guard our lips as well, not to sin by complaining, but rather giving thanks. We should not be deceived to think that social norms are okay just because everyone thinks or does so.

We must live as children of the light and walk in the light to please God. Then, we can enjoy the fruits of the light: goodness, righteousness, and truth. Let's have nothing to do with those who walk in shameful darkness but illuminate the light of Jesus to others.


Application: Father, thank you for Christ, who gave himself up for me. Please help me to walk in the way of love and reveal your light to others.
One Word: Be imitators of Christ, walk in his way of love, and shine Jesus' light
