Self-sacrificial love in the fellowship of Believers is evidence of our new life in Christ. It’s based on the selfless love of Jesus Christ, who “laid down His life” in our place. But self-denial is contrary to our human nature, and the giving up of our interests or wishes in order to help others is downright difficult. So, consider this…Salvation is easy for us, for it cost us nothing, but God so much. Whereas the exhibiting of Salvation in our life then becomes the difficult part of daily making a deliberate decision to lay down our life for others. “Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.” (John 15:13)
