God was the first to sacrifice. He sacrificed an animal to clothe Adam and Eve and with this, He showed us the way to a beneficial faith. Just as love demands attitudes of sacrifice, so does faith. In the past, no hero of faith conquered anything without the use of faith with sacrifice. Abel is one of the greatest examples of this; he was considered righteous before the Most High just because of his sacrifice.
Jesus taught us sacrifice when He said:
"If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me." Matthew 16:24

Listen
...Jesus took Peter, James, and John, and led them up a high mountain to be alone.
Then a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my dearly loved Son. Listen to him." Mark 9:2-7
The disciples had to climb the Mount of Transfiguration to learn how to listen to God's Voice.
