Today we remember those who have sacrificed their own lives that we may live in freedom.
John 15:13 – 13 Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.
Truly one that dies for the cause of another is a hero. It’s the true meaning of sacrifice. Selfish people that love themselves more than others would never sacrifice their life.
The devil would never sacrifice his life for anyone. He’s selfish and would destroy anything, everything, and anyone that would try and get in his way of being like the Most High.
How has God gone about this concerning the human race?
1 John 4:9-10 – 9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. 10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
It’s not hard to discern a spirit of selfishness. If the average American man and now in this age woman did not have a sacrificial heart, we would be in complete bondage. Not to say that we have now almost come full circle and put ourselves back into that again.
If our Lord had not come and died for us, we all would be doomed for destruction and bondage.
Thank you Lord for loving us even when we are not lovable and sending Your Son so we may live with You forever.
