Heroism consists of actions undertaken to help others, despite the possibility that they may result in the helper's death or injury. 
Heroism involves significant risk, which could include death, injury, imprisonment, or other serious or significant consequencesGod with Us 
“Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us” (Matthew 1:23 KJV). 
Suppose I begin to talk on some abstract truth or virtue, such as heroism, 
Little or nothing more than an uneasy and fearful wonder. 
what effect would I produce? 
no analogies, 
no anecdotes, 
and use no illustrations, 
The key to heroism is a concern for other people in need—a concern to defend a moral cause, knowing there is a personal risk, done without expectation of reward. 
The Intrinsic Psychology of HeroismGrowing 
Stronger, No. 5:
At once, the shifting, indifferent wonder changes into attentive interest. 
But instead of dealing with heroism as an abstraction, let me put it into a parable or a fairytale 
or tell you the story of some courageous person, like David Livingstone 
or Joan of Arc.
But let me go further, and instead of embodying the virtue in the story of some brave person, let the truth become reborn in a person. 
The closer and more real our relationship with the person we love, the more beautiful will be our devotion. 
What will be the result? 
The pointless wonder that followed the vague concept will change into passionate admiration, which will ripen into love. 
The Intrinsic Psychology of Heroism What 
dedication. 
How can I be like her? 
So much love. 
Let me produce the heroic personality itself, engaged in the heroic life.
i am that i am! 
And as the colors of God’s character emerged, the influences created in man’s heart become proportionately richer and more powerful. 
Now see how this applies to the revelation of God and our relationship to Him. 
What was His name? 
He came to be regarded as man’s “Shepherd,” because of the “shepherdliness” that His people experienced in His dealings with them. 
Instead of God remaining a distant and vague form to His people, God revealed Himself in experiences that created more defining names, which found their way into song and story. 
He began to be known as “Refuge,” as “Rock,” as “Tower,” as “Shield.” 
“I am that I am,” is a revelation that awakens wonder and fear. There is nothing to lay hold of, nothing to lean upon.
He no longer remained embodied in beautiful names and renowned in song and story. 
Eventually, God removed the last vestige of abstraction. 
Just think what significance this revelation in the person of Jesus had for those Jews who became His disciples. He became incarnate— 
The essence of their faith was in those laws that we call the Ten Commandments. a living personality. 
But I say unto you, Love your enemies... 
that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
He cast aside the traditions and cried to the people, 
He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me!1 
Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? 
He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. 
But along came Christ, and the first thing He did was to tear these miles of wrappings away.

Jesus Christ lifted God out of a vague and personless form, 
out of dead regulations and traditions, and presented the image of the eternal glory in His own person. 
God was no longer a burdensome law, but a great, near, and loving personality. 
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.2 
Jesus, please come and live in my heart. 
Thank you for giving your life for us. 
Thank you for being such a close friend. 
2. Matthew 11:28
