Read Romans 12:1-2 – Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
God’s strategy is not to just have you on the team, but for you to sell out for the team. In this case, it means that you would be willing to do things and think things and be things that you once were not. It is a sacrifice to give up what you know for something new. It will be hard to change your friends, habits and activities for a brand new way of living. Yet think about what Christ did so that we could suit up with Him! He gave up His royalty and took on the filthy losing robe of man. He wore it in humiliation so that you could wear His in pride. Compared to His sacrifice, ours does not match up at all.
