summary

It might seem I’m always talking to you about selfishness, but that’s the essence of sin, the opposite of perfect love. God's love in you thinks about other’s interests ahead of your own. It doesn’t mean you ignore your own needs, but it meets their needs before your wants. It looks after your brothers and sisters. It demonstrates the kind of love God demonstrated toward you.

 

Paul puts it in terms of having the mindset of Christ - Him incarnate. When He came to you in the flesh, He showed you how to love. He showed you what love really means. It means putting others ahead of yourself even if it means to die. God let you put Him on a cross to show you how much He loves you. He died to pay the penalty for your sins to demonstrate His love for you.
