A Christmas Gift

 Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. 

And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us 

and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God 

for a sweet-smelling aroma.

Ephesians 5:1-2

The only commandment GOD has given us is to do with LOVE.

He demonstrated His unconditional love through the LORD JESUS.

 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, 

in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 5:8

Now the LORD JESUS commands us to love one another the way He loved us.

 Owe no one anything except to love one another, 

for he who loves another has fulfilled the law.
Romans 13:8


Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good.
Romans 12:9

The LORD JESUS gave Himself to GOD the Father,

on behalf of us, for us.
We too must give ourselves to GOD,

on behalf of others.

So GOD can take and use us to pour His love 

through us to others.

Thus we become a sweet-smelling aroma

to GOD and to others!
