How do we know Christ's love for the church is self-sacrificial?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's love for the church is exemplified by His self-sacrifice, as noted in Ephesians 5:25.

Ephesians 5:25 states that Christ loved the church and gave Himself for it, illustrating the depth of His love through self-sacrifice. This self-giving attitude is not passive but actively seeks the well-being of the church, analogous to how husbands are to love their wives. Christ's willingness to suffer and die for His bride demonstrates the model of love that husbands should aspire to. The passage invites us to reflect on the lengths Christ went to redeem His people, which serves to instill a sense of duty in husbands to emulate this form of love in their own marriages.
