If the circumstances require, we must be prepared to risk our ____ in the service of our neighbor.

• A. Time
• B. Life
• C. Status
• D. Comfort

Answer: (B)

This item looks at our willingness to sacrifice for others, even to the point of giving up our life in service to our neighbor. The word that fits best is life because the expression of true love and courageous service is to be prepared to lay down one’s life for others, reflecting the highest form of sacrifice. This idea is echoed in Jesus’ teaching about love—no greater love than to lay down one’s life for friends—and it underpins the kind of courageous, self-forgetting leadership expected in godly service. While giving time, comfort, or status can be involved in helping others, those are not the same level of ultimate risk implied by the phrase; life represents the deepest commitment to neighbor and to love in action.
