In this story, there is a man named Abraham that God wanted to test. He told Abraham to sacrifice his only son, Isaac, at the top of a hill. So Abraham took some servants, his donkey, firewood and his son a trip to the hill. Once they got close, he told his servants to stay behind as he took his son to the top of the hill to be a burnt offering but as they arrived at the top, an angel came down from heaven and told him that he had passed God's test and he didn't have to sacrifice his son and as a reward God would bless his descendants.
People have to sacrifice things every day. But a true sacrifice is something that may greatly harm you but benefits someone else or the greater good. True sacrifices can be hard to make but are sometimes necessary.
I agree with you, without making sacrifices everything would just be given to you.
