**Day 82 of the Open Heaven Podcast**, based on **John 15:13**, with a focus on **self-sacrificial love** through abiding in Christ.

### 🎙️ Open Heaven Podcast – Day 82: The Greatest Love – Self-Sacrifice 
📆 *90 Days Walking with the Holy Spirit* 
🌿 *Abide 21 – Day 13* 
📖 **Scripture Focus:** 
_"Greater love has no one than this, that a person will lay down his life for his friends."_ – **John 15:13 (NASB)** 

### 💬 Episode Description: 
Welcome to **Day 82** of the *Open Heaven Podcast* and **Day 13** of *Abide 21*! Today’s focus is on **John 15:13**, where Jesus defines the **greatest expression of love**—laying down one’s life for others. 

This is not just a poetic phrase or religious metaphor—it’s the very essence of the gospel. Jesus **laid down His life for us**, like a **seed that dies to produce a harvest** (John 12:24). Through His sacrifice, we received **eternal life**, and through **abiding in Him**, we are transformed to love with **that same selfless, sacrificial love**. 

As we abide, we gain the **capacity to die to ourselves**, put others before ourselves, and truly live out the love of Christ. The **fruit of the Spirit** begins to grow, and our love becomes more than emotion—it becomes action, service, and surrender. 

### 🔥 In this episode, you’ll learn: 
✔️ Why Jesus' death is the ultimate act of love 
✔️ How self-sacrifice is the evidence of godly love 
✔️ What it means to love others as Christ has loved you 
✔️ How abiding in Christ empowers you to love selflessly 
✔️ Why love always multiplies when we die to ourselves 

### 🙌 Let This Encourage You: 
If you’re struggling to love someone, or if your love feels shallow or conditional, lean into **abiding in Jesus**. From His presence flows **the kind of love that transforms hearts and relationships**. You don’t have to strive—just stay connected to the **True Vine**, and watch what He produces through you.
