Galatians 2
[20]I have been crucified with Christ [in Him I have shared His crucifixion]; it is no longer I who live, but Christ (the Messiah) lives in me; and the life I now live in the body I live by faith in (by adherence to and reliance on and complete trust in) the Son of God, Who loved me and gave Himself up for me.
Romans 12
[1]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.
What is living a life of sacrifice?
It is to live your life totally for Christ. You don't consider yourself first before you say or do anything. You live absolutely as a soldier who has no life of his own in quote. You live as commanded by God in His word and as lead by the Holy Spirit.

God really requires each Christian to live a sacrificial worship ; it is an act of spiritual love. It is really walking in love, putting God and others first before you. It is you being a seed planted in Christ that will absolutely deliver extraordinary harvest. Each seed planted in a good soil delivers good harvest and Jesus Christ is the good soil.
Jesus Christ is an ideal example of living a life of sacrifice. While He was here on earth, He didn't do anything of Himself, yet acted by the directions of God the father. Every one of His judgments depended on directions He got from God. He lived a sacrificial life since he didn't seek His own will however the will of His father who sent Him, John 5:30.
Likewise, at Mount Olives, looked with the agony of the death that awaited Him on the cross, Jesus did the will of his father and not His own. He profoundly needed the cup to be taken away from Him that He prayed so truly; His sweat wound up like drops of blood tumbling down to the ground, however He yielded to God's will – Luke 22:41-44.

Presently how would you turn into a living sacrifice?
You need to make a total commitment to seek and do God's will and not your own. You ought to dependably say, "not my will lord but let your will be done ". Keep in mind, as a believing Christian you have been crucified with Christ; it is not any more you that live yet Christ that lives inside you. The life you now live ought to be by faith in the son of God that loved you and gave Himself for you.
Besides, you have to make a decisive dedication of your body to God. You present every one of the parts of your body as sacrifice to Christ. That implies you intentionally give your ears, eyes, mouth, hands, legs and heart, and so on., to the service of God. Having done that, resulting utilization of your eyes, ears, heart, and so on., ought to praise God.

That all what mankind needs to know "A life of sacrifice is a life loaded with God and wherever God is marvelous benefits are showed"
Truly written
Jesus Christ is our example. Despite His authority and mightiness, He surrendered himself as a living sacrifice. He laid down His life for us to gain our own life. He was made poor for us to be rich, He was made sick for us to enjoy divine health, He was curse for us to be blessed.
He left His throne in heaven and come to this sinful world to die for our sake.
We ought to give ourselves wholly unto God as a living sacrifice and we ought to sacrifice for our fellows. We should care and show love to others
God has given His all and Jesus Christ Has given His all.
We just have to give our all to God as a living sacrifice and we need to sacrifice for our fellows. Living a sacrificial life is one of the characteristics of a through follower of Christ.
May God grant us the grace to give ourselves away for the father's use
God really requires each Christian to live a sacrificial worship ; it is an act of spiritual love. It is really walking in love, putting God and others first before you. It is you being a seed planted in Christ that will absolutely deliver extraordinary harvest. Each seed planted in a good soil delivers good harvest and Jesus Christ is the good soil.
The following verse (Romans 12:2) helps us to understand. We are a living sacrifice for God by not being conformed to this world. The world is defined for us in 1 John 2:15-16 as the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. All that the world has to offer can be reduced to these three things. The lust of the flesh includes everything that appeals to our appetites and involves excessive desires for food, drink, sex, and anything else that satisfies physical needs. Lust of the eyes mostly involves materialism, coveting whatever we see that we don’t have and envying those who have what we want. The pride of life is defined by any ambition for that which puffs us up and puts us on the throne of our own lives.
A life of sacrifice is a life totally for God, without complain, forgeting your own ambition and puting God first in everything
You will not serve God without giving God your precious time and sacrifice.
Things may seems so hard and not going the way you planned it but always remember that thelird loves you as his child every time and always .
Give your self a real definition and what you want people to think if you.
It is our prayer for Christ to be with us in All we do and when will dwell in his presence .
death has brought us joy peace .
We should have the courage to glorify himin truth and in spirit , he is the living among the death .
He has risen .
He has conquered all our iniquities.
He is our perfect perfection and protector.
Give your life a good meaning so that people will think well for you
We sacrifice our lives daily as we live with the impact of Christ’s sacrifice for us
You have to make a decisive dedication of your body to God. When you summit yourself to God, his words will be inside of you.
We sacrifice our lives daily as we live with the impact of Christ’s sacrifice for us. While making a sacrifice isn’t easy, it does remind us that we need to hold loosely to the things of this world. Heaven is our true home and everything we give up on earth is temporary compared to eternity.

lots of divine benefits abound in availing oneself as a living sacrifice ,but we have to understand that we are God's messengers of peace to this turbulent world,Jesus gave us the golden rule,that we should love our neighbor as ourselves,in the bible book of matthew 25:42-46 Jesus made mention of people who would on that day ask when were you hungry and i did not give you food,he said he would reply as long as you did it to no one,you did not unto me,I want us to understand that this benevolent service of sacrifice should be extended to those around us,lend a hand of sopport,show love,let them see Jesus in your eyes,because that is God's plan
