But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners. Christ died for us. Romans 5:8

In the scripture above, the sacrificial action that express our Lord's love for us is Christ dying for us. There must be a sacrificial action for you to recognize love. Contrary to many views that love is a feelings or an emotion, it is a sacrificial action. In it every sacrificial action that connotes love? No! It is love only when the sacrificial action is for another who does not deserve it. No matter the extent of sacrifice for another, it cannot be regarded as love unless the person does not deserve it. Even if you give all your belonging to another, it does not signify love unless the person does not merit it. 1 Corinthians 13:3
