What does christian sacrifice mean?
When I think of giving something up of value, what is of most value to a person is their spirit. If you cant give up your spirit, there is no sacrifice. So, unless sacrifice means something else than its common definition, no one can give up whats most value. Our bodies suffer and die anyway; so, that isn't sacrifice. Something of value would be your spirit.
If you (or christ) cant give up whats of most value, your spirit, why call it a sacrifice? Is there another word you can use more appropriate?
Well first, are you wanting to talking about what a Christian sacrifice means?
Or are you wanting to talk about the sacrifice of Christ Jesus.
It seems your talking about to totally different subjects.
One Christian sacrifice and one being Christ Jesus sacrifice.
So which one are you referring to.
My sacrifice as a Christian, is that I put God first in all I do.
To sacrifice ( give up all the world has to offer) and take hold of what God has to offer me.
Can the world give eternal life.
God gives eternal life. To those who sacrifice all the world has to offer and take hold of what God has to offer of eternal life.
Now as for the sacrifice of Christ Jesus, Christ Jesus gave his body as a ransom, in the place of your life.
In other words, Christ Jesus gave his life, in the place of yours.
That by the law of God's, blood has to given for the Atonement of breaking God's law.
For our sin of breaking God's law our blood was required for the Atonement of breaking God's law
Christ Jesus step in and gave his body of flesh and blood in our place, to buy us some time to get ourselves right with God.
