Genesis 22:9
"And Abraham built an altar"
"And bound Isaac his son"
We must not think that the final thing God wants of us is the sacrifice of death. What God wants is the sacrifice through death which enables us to do what Jesus did, IE, sacrifice our lives. Not-- I am willing to go to death with Thee, but--I am willing to be identified with Thy death so that I may sacrifice my life to God. God does not want us to give up things! Just as God purified Abraham, the same discipline goes on in our lives. God never tells us to give up things for the sake of giving them up. He tells us to give them up for the sake of the only thing worth having; life with Him. It is the question of loosening the things that hinder life, and immediately those bands that hinder you will be loosened by identification with the death of Jesus, we enter into a relationship with God whereby we can sacrifice our lives to Him.
It is no value to god to give Him your life for death. He wants you to be a "living sacrifice" to let Him have all your powers that have been saved and sanctified through Jesus Christ. This is; "What Is Acceptable To God."
