Greek has four words that we translate as "love." One of these words is agape, which means a self-giving love. That is different from eros, which is sexual desire, and is another word for "love."
In your proposed explanation, I think you have in mind eros, but that is not what is meant here.
A fair explanation of agape love is the idealism of a soldier who goes off to fight for his country, because of his "love" for his country, for those who live in his country, and for what he thinks his country stands for. That is agapelove.
Christians believe that Jesus died on our behalf, which was a fulsome expression of his agape love for us.
