Psalm 50:4-5 (Common English Bible)
4 God calls out to the skies above
and to the earth in order to judge his people:
5 “Bring my faithful to me,
those who made a covenant with me by sacrifice.”
Summary:
True love involves sacrifice. When we sacrifice for one another in love, our hope is to bring the best out of each other. Divine sacrifice does not mean losing one’s self in order to love someone else. It does mean giving up a convenience in order to bring the best out of another. Because of God’s love, Jesus’ sacrifice for us aims to bring the best out of us.
