Ephesians 5:1 Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children;”
Ephesians 5:2 and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God 2as a fragrant aroma.
2 Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us. The Lord is the supreme example in His self-sacrificing love for lost sinners (4:32; ROM 5:8–10). He took human sin upon Himself and gave up His very life that men might be redeemed from their sin, receive a new and holy nature, and inherit eternal life (see note on 2Co 5:21). They are henceforth to be imitators of His great love in the newness and power of the Holy Spirit, who enables them to demonstrate divine love. a fragrant aroma. Christ’s offering of Himself for fallen man pleased and glorified His heavenly Father, because it demonstrated in the most complete and perfect way God’s sovereign, perfect, unconditional, and divine kind of love.
STOP, trying to earn Grace!

We must, stop trying to earn Grace. When we truly believe the Gospel, we understand that in no way, can we measure up to Gods standards, but by surrendering ourselves to his mercy, and allowing him to transform us, by his spirit and his word in our lives.
Who are, our Friends? We must choose wisely, those that speak wisdom, that comes from God, into our lives. This is not saying, that we can’t interact with old friends, just to be clear, but our inner circle, should be those we can seek wise counsel from. How are we doing with this? Would love to hear from you?
1st Corinthians 15:33 says this…..Do not be deceived: ” Bad company, corrupts good Morals”
Proverbs 13:20 says this: “He who walks with wise men will be wise, But the companion of fools will suffer harm.”
Just as Rains from Heaven, come down and wash everything clean, so Jesus washes us clean, and restores us, as we walk in faith. Only Jesus, there is no other Name.
“He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake.”
Psalms 23:3 NASB1995

Philippians 2:7 – He took Position as a Slave
From: John MacArthur Study Bible.
Vs 7emptied Himself. From this Gr. word comes the theological word “kenosis”; i.e., the doctrine of Christ’s self-emptying in His incarnation. This was a self-renunciation, not an emptying Himself of deity nor an exchange of deity for humanity (see notes on v. 6).
Jesus did, however, renounce or set aside His privileges in several areas:
1) heavenly glory—while on earth He gave up the glory of a face-to-face relationship with God and the continuous outward display and personal enjoyment of that glory (cf. Jn 17:5);
2) independent authority—during His incarnation Christ completely submitted Himself to the will of His Father (see note on v. 8; cf. Mt 26:39; Jn 5:30; Heb 5:8);
3) divine prerogatives—He set aside the voluntary display of His divine attributes and submitted Himself to the Spirit’s direction (cf. Mt 24:36; Jn 1:45–49);
4) eternal riches—while on earth Christ was poor and owned very little (cf. 2Co 8:9); and
5) a favorable relationship with God—He felt the Father’s wrath for human sin while on the cross (cf. Mt 27:46; see note on 2Co 5:21). form of a bond-servant. Again, Paul uses the Gr. word “form,” which indicates exact essence (see note on v.
6). As a true servant, Jesus submissively did the will of His Father (cf. Is 52:13, 14). the likeness of men. Christ became more than God in a human body, but He took on all the essential attributes of humanity (Lk 2:52; Gal 4:4; Col 1:22), even to the extent that He identified with basic human needs and weaknesses (cf. Heb 2:14, 17; 4:15). He became the God-Man: fully God and fully man.
