Love, if one is Christian, is demanded by God. He set forth the example by sacrificing His only Son, who was sinless to cover our sins if we choose to accept that.
His Son could have refused to do that, but out of Love sacrificed his own life to unable us to obtain salvation for eternity. So one can say that “Love is an act of sacrifice for the benefit of the recipient.” Scripture also teaches to “love thy neighbor as thy self.”
