Ephesians 5:1-2 // God's Love is Sacrificial // Pastor Eddy Fredryk

BE LIKE GOD…GOD IS LOVE Ephesians 4:30-32 ESV [30] And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. [31] Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. [32] Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you. Ephesians 5:1-2 ESV [1] Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. [2] And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
