\nA)\u00a0Therefore- because of what has just been stated.
\nB)\u00a0Followers of God- walking in the same paths.
\nII)\u00a0As dear children.\u00a0 This is how we are to follow.
\nA)\u00a0Dear in the sense of being loved dearly- Ones so loved.

\ncontinual use.\u00a0 1 John 1: 7-11; 3: 13-18; 4: 7-12
\nII)\u00a0As Christ also hath loved us.\u00a0 How has Christ loved us?

\n1)\u00a0As an offering- A gift worthy to express the worthiness of the one worshipped.
\nMalachi 1: 8
\n2)\u00a0As a sacrifice- One acceptable, of value enough to repay the offended party.
\na)\u00a0The holiness of a perfect God being offended, a perfect substitute to stand in place of the guilty must be found.
\nHebrews 9: 22-24
\n3)\u00a0For a sweet smelling savour.
\na)\u00a0Exodus 30: 1-10- The example of the incense.\u00a0 All in the Tabernacle tent would smell of the incense offered.
\nb)\u00a0Genesis 27: 27- The example of Jacob in Esau\u2019s clothing.
\nc)\u00a0Matthew 26: 6-13- The example of the woman and box of ointment.\u00a0 The smell as on her hands and his head would be the same.
\n4)\u00a0When we approach God in the name of Jesus, God smells his SON!<\/p>\n
