Chapter 7: Unity in Sacrifice
The Heavens and Earth are everlasting a
How can the Heavens and Earth last forever?
Because they do not exist for themselves
Thus they last forever
Therefore, the Son of God humbles Himself b
And in His humility is exalted
He sacrificed His life for everyone c
Yet His Spirit continues to live within us
Through acts of selfless love
This is how the Son of God fulfills His purpose
a 1 John 2:16-17; Isaiah 65:17; Revelation 21:1; b Matthew 23:11-12; Philippians 2:5-11; c John 17:1-5; John 14:16-17; John 14:26; John 15:12-13.
What does it truly mean to leave a lasting mark on the world? In this thought-provoking exploration of Chapter 7 from the Built for Greatness, Built for God movement's handbook, we uncover a paradoxical truth that challenges conventional notions of success and significance.
The ancient wisdom "The heavens and earth last forever because they do not exist for themselves" serves as our foundation as we examine how selflessness creates lasting impact. Drawing from Christ's example of sacrificial love and humility, we discover that true greatness emerges not from self-promotion but from service to others.
Through the practical MAP framework—Mindset, Aim, and Practice—we explore concrete ways to shift from self-centered thinking to other-centered living. Rather than asking "what's in it for me?" we learn to approach each interaction with "how can I help?" We examine how cultivating humility becomes a surprising source of strength, and how making love our guiding principle transforms our words and actions.
Perhaps most fascinating is discovering how these principles resonate across major spiritual traditions. From Christianity's teachings on sacrificial love to Islam's emphasis on charity, Buddhism's concept of non-self, and Hinduism's focus on selfless action, we find a universal recognition that meaningful existence transcends self-interest.
This episode invites you to reimagine success and significance through the lens of selflessness. What might change if you measured your achievements not by what you gain, but by what you give? How might embracing sacrifice and humility create ripple effects that extend far beyond your lifetime? Join us as we explore this counterintuitive path to creating a legacy that truly lasts.
