Ephesians 5

Paul wrote specific instructions for how we should live: be imitators of God. Love as Christ loved and sacrifice for others. Stay away from immorality and impurity. Husbands and wives are to love each other just as Christ loves the church.

We need to learn everything we can about God so that we can learn how we are to act. God loved each of us so much that He willingly gave His Son to die for our sins. We need to show that same love to those around us. The easiest place to show this kind of love should be at home, between husbands and wives. If we start by showing God's love to those closest to us, we can build from there to show love to everyone else.
