Love

Eph 5:1-2
1 Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children;2 and 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.(NAS)

As believers, we are called to walk in love, just as Jesus did. It's no coincidence that the verse then continues to remind that Christ gave Himself up for us. If we are to love others like Christ loved us, that means giving ourselves up for the sake of others. That phrase, "and [He] gave Himself up for us..." brings strong emotion. To give up every part of myself in service for others, (and in turn for God because it says Jesus' sacrifice to save us was a fragrant sacrifice to God) that is something I pray that God can help me attain to.
