Why will you live a life of sacrifice? What will you gain living a
sacrificial life? Many people find it difficult to comprehend why they should
sacrifice their life for another. Yet,
it is the reasonable service unto God and is loaded with great benefits. This
post is aimed at helping you understand why living a life of sacrifice is
crucial for you as a believing Christian.
I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer
I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh
I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me –
Galatians 2:20 (NKJV)
I APPEAL to you therefore, brethren, and beg of you
in view of [all] the mercies of God, to make a decisive dedication of your
bodies [presenting all your members and faculties] as a living sacrifice, holy
(devoted, consecrated) and well pleasing to God, which is your reasonable
(rational, intelligent) service and spiritual worship – Romans 12:1 (AMP)
What is living a life
of sacrifice?
It is to live your life totally for Christ. You don't think
of yourself first before you say or do anything. You live purely as a soldier
who has no life of his own in quote. You live as commanded by God in His word
and as led by the Holy Spirit.
God actually requires every Christian to live a sacrificial
life; it is an act of spiritual worship. It is actually walking in love, putting
God and others first before you. It is you being a seed planted because of
Christ that will certainly bring forth great harvest. Every seed planted in a
good soil always brings forth good harvest and Jesus Christ is the good soil.
Jesus Christ is a perfect example of living a life of
sacrifice. While He was here on earth, He did nothing of Himself, but acted
according to the instructions of God the father. All His judgments were based
on what He heard from God. He was able to live a sacrificial life because he did
not seek His own but the will of His father who sent Him, John 5:30. Read more...
