What does the Bible say about pouring our lives out for Christ?

In Philippians 2:17, the Apostle Paul expresses his desire to be poured out like a drink offering, symbolizing his complete dedication and service to Christ and the church. This act of sacrificial living is rooted in grace and gratitude—the acknowledgment of all that Christ has done for believers. Paul’s life serves as an example of how Christians are to reflect Christ’s light in the world through selfless service, echoing the biblical theme of offering our lives as living sacrifices (Romans 12:1).
