Love

Christ's Model for Love

Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;

Ephesians 5:25

· · ·

Christ's sacrificial love for the church sets the standard for how we should love others.

Paul instructs husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the church—with complete self-giving, purifying intention, and unwavering commitment. This standard applies beyond marriage to all our relationships, calling us to love with Christlike devotion and sacrifice.

Consider your closest relationships—are you loving with the same self-sacrificing commitment that Christ showed the church?

Jesus, help me to love others the way You loved the church—sacrificially, purely, and completely. Transform my heart to reflect Your devoted love. Amen.
