Loving others sacrificially means prioritizing their needs above our own, mirroring Christ's love for us.
Sacrificial love is characterized by placing the needs and well-being of others before our own desires, as exemplified by the life and death of Jesus. In John 15:13, we see that 'Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.' This kind of love transcends mere affection; it involves a commitment to act for the good of others, even at great personal cost. Such love requires humility and selflessness, challenges us to respond to the struggles of those around us, and ultimately binds the community of believers together in Christ. It's a continual call to follow Jesus' example in our relationships.
