Ephesians 5:1-2
English Standard Version (ESV)
It's intimidating as a parent to realize that your children often turn out just like you. Children watch their parents to see how they act and react, and that's the behavior they show to the world, good or bad.
As Christians, much of what the world learns about God is from our behavior. When we treat others with love, we demonstrate that we are imitating our loving Father, who selflessly gave himself up for us, not counting the cost but only focused on how much he loves us. When we think of our friends and neighbors, do we count the cost, or do we love selflessly, as God loves us? What does our behavior teach others about our heavenly Father? How do our lives proclaim Christ, and what kind of Christ do they proclaim?
