In the Old Testament giving a spotless sacrifice of your best livestock or grain was a sign of giving of yourself, something you could never take back once it was offered to the Lord. Today, we are asked to give our lives as a living sacrifice. Not give our lives, as in kill ourselves, but rather just the opposite. Live for Jesus, commit our lives to His service and strive to better ourselves each and every day so that we may be like a spotless lamb sacrificed to the Lord.
God gave the ultimate sacrifice to His people in the form of His own Son. In this case a LIFE truly was given as a representation of a spotless lamb. In return, the Lord asks that we do the same with our thoughts, actions, minds and souls. We are to live for Jesus, not for ourselves any longer.
