Ephesians 5:2 And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.
When Christ asks us to be imitators of God, just like Children imitate other, it is an instruction for us to try to be more Christ-like without doubting and questioning everything.
Christ loved us without question. He did what He had to do on the cross because that is what was required. Yes, He did ask God if there could be any other way, but totally accepted
God’s decision just as an obedient child does.
God does not want us to be blind followers, but simply to trust Him and obey the final decisions.
