What does the Bible say about sacrifice in the Christian life?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible teaches that sacrifice is essential in the Christian life, reflecting the love of Christ who laid down His life for others.
The Christian life is fundamentally a life of sacrifice, modeled by the Lord Jesus Christ. As indicated in John 15:13, 'greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.' This sacrificial love is not only to be reflected in our actions but is also the essence of the faith that drives our relationship with Christ. The New Testament demonstrates how early Christians embodied this principle, looking after one another's needs and putting communal welfare above personal possessions, showing that real love and faith manifest in selflessness and care for others.
