Ephesians 5:2 ESV
And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
God told Abraham to walk in promised land, and wherever his feet touched the ground would be given to him and his descendants.
Our walk with Christ might have a similar effect and meaning. We walk in the kingdom of heaven, even though our feet touch the ground of fallen earth, leaving the imprint of our passing. The earth will be made new, restored and released from the curse of Adam's disobedience.
Our walk is a fragrant offering and sacrifice that pleases God. This is the walk in love. We give ourselves up for Christ as He gave Himself for us. Love is perfected and complete. His word has gone forth and filled the void.
