According to I John 3:16, we can know the love of God because Jesus Christ
laid down his life for us—in response to that love, we ought to lay
down our lives for the brethren. The essence of sacrifice is to willingly let go of something we hold dear for the benefit of someone else. Jesus
Christ gave the ultimate sacrifice when He willingly offered Himself as our propitiation. Paralleling His sacrifice, the United States military is
actively involved in personal sacrifice on the behalf of American citizens, both current and future.
