AmaZing Sacrificial Love






A true life of love is lived out in sacrifice.

The overarching theme of love is putting someone else above yourself. Often, doing so requires little daily sacrifices or sometimes a monumental, once-for-all, your-life-for-mine act of commitment.

1 Corinthians 13:7 English Standard Version (ESV)
Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

The Teacher instructs us all how to love in the Love Chapter, 1st Corinthians 13; and, He demonstrated His love through the life of Christ.

Romans 5:8 New King James Version (NKJV)
But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Christ made the ultimate sacrifice by laying down His life for us. Even though He knew some would not accept it, He did it anyway.

How AmaZing is the thought of being loved is such a way! You are precious, loved and valuable because Christ thought you were worth His sacrifice.

Now we should live a life of love in gratitude for that sacrifice.

Ephesians 5:1-2 New Living Translation (NLT)
Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children. Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ. He loved us and offered himself as a sacrifice for us, a pleasing aroma to God.
