We are to offer up spiritual sacrifices, according to 1 Peter 2:5 with a holy priesthood acceptable to the Heavenly Father God. As lively stones creating a spiritual house through the blood sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ, these sacrifices are not up for debate, and must be done daily for God:
Keep your body holy (Romans 12:1)
Give praises to the Lord [God or Jesus Christ] (Hebrews 13:15)
Don’t forget to do good in this life. Stop taking things for granted (Hebrews 13:16)
Share what you have with others (Hebrews 13:16)
We are his servants according to John 12:26, “If any man serve me [Jesus], let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.”
Serving the Lord Jesus is not for our sins: for he did that for us already (Hebrews 10:12), every living stone [temple belonging to God] are still required to be holy, as he is. So, please let the righteous in us be revealed to do all that is written to follow.
It wouldn’t be a sacrifice if it was easy to do!
