About This Quote
If you boil down the gospel to one word, it would be love. The scriptures are full of stories of people putting others first at great personal cost. The story of Jesus is one example. Even though he was God in human form, Jesus endured torture and abuse because he knew that his willingness to help would make all the difference. When Jesus said, "I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly," he was putting others first.
