Ephesians 5:1-2 (ESV Strong's)
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.
To genuinely and sincerely imitate God as His beloved children, we must love. This means receiving His love, which is the word of creation, and being that love.
When we “put on Christ”, we become His beloved children. We imitate Christ as we begin our transformation into the image of God.
This takes place as we give ourselves to God and those around us, sacrificing self to others for Him. That love is one and the same, the image of God.
