The sacrifice, regardless of cost, of self-either physical, emotional, mental, financial-for the benefit of another
Love
New Testament
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, demonstrating it in this way: He gave His one and only Son, so if anyone believes in Him, they will not perish but have eternal life.
Romans 5:8 But God shows us His own love in this way that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us!
Ephesians 2:4-5 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love that He had for us, made us alive with the Messiah even though we were dead in trespasses. You are saved by grace!
2 Thessalonians 2:16 Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, who has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope by grace
1 John 4:9-10 In this, the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, in order that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we have loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the atonement for our sins.
