Bible Verses About Sacrifice In The New Testament
The Call to Sacrifice
We often find ourselves questioning what it means to truly follow Jesus. As He calls us to Himself, there exists a challenge: the call to sacrifice. This involves setting aside our own desires and comforts to follow God’s path for our lives. This concept is woven throughout the New Testament, showing us how we can lay down our lives for the sake of the Gospel. When we sacrifice, we reflect the selfless love of Christ, who gave everything for us. This is a reminder that our faith demands not just belief but action, leading us to a deeper relationship with God.
