Ephesians 5:2

“Walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma.“ (NASB)

STRONGS HEBREW/GREEK ORIGINS

“Walk (peripateo: go, walk about, be occupied with) in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave (paradidomi: delivered, give, give up, give over, commit) Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma (euodia: sweet savour, sweet smelling; agreeably to the ancient notion that God smells and is pleased with the odor of sacrifices; a thing well pleasing to God).“

SUMMARY

Be occupied with love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a sweet aroma that is pleasing to Him.

MEDITATION

Do you realize that your life gives off an aroma that makes its way up into the heavens? Every thought and deed creates an aroma that is the fragrance of your life. So I ask you, is your life a sweet smelling savor that pleases the LORD? Are you completely occupied with the same love that was shown to you via Christ? Today, be moved by love and allow your entire life to send up a sweet aroma that goes straight to the throne of God.
