text: Love is self-sacrifice, self gift.  That's the whole and demanding and beautiful and joyful meaning of the Gospel. Love is self-gift.
  
  Philippians 2:5-8
  Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men.
  
  Titus 2:14 who gave Himself for us to redeem us from every lawless deed, and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds.
  
  1 Corinthians 6:19-20
  Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body.
  
  There are others...good topic.  
  
  The Church uses the word: "Kenosis" to describe the extent of love: self-emptying.  (Jesus gave us all "unto death", when He ran out of blood He gave us water).
