Ephesians 5:1-2
Excerpted from: The One Thing

Over to Ephesians 5 now. Service and devotion to God always comes first. But we cannot separate it, right? We cannot separate our worship and devotion to God from our required service to man. Service to God, service to man, go hand in hand.

So we are called here to follow, to imitate, Paul says, Christ's example of daily sacrifice and service and devotion to God and devotion to man. These are the sweet-smelling aroma offerings to God.
