Again Paul comes to us with what could seem like a list of instructions, of things to do and things to steer clear of and as we read it, we probably find ourselves having failed at every turn! The opening of this chapter is perhaps of the greatest importance as we try and understand it, we are to follow God’s example, living into our identity as his dearly loved children, walking in the way of love just as Jesus did. As imitators of Christ it isn’t about getting a good score on the behaviour measure but rather it is about choosing the Jesus way every day, choosing to walk in his light, choosing to be motivated by his love instead of finding out motivations elsewhere. We are not walking in darkness, we have the light of Christ to guide our every step.
