To die is to gain and to live is to die.

The problem with a living sacrifice is it gets off the alter, we've all heard this saying before, recently God has been dealing with me about dying to the flesh. We as christians cannot let the flesh control us or lead us around on a leash, we must let the spirit of God lead us to be effective christians. To die to the flesh is gain, we gain it all and we don't have anything to lose but this life on earth, to live to the flesh and for worldly desires is to die. Jesus paid the price and God gave up his only beloved son for us, Jesus also lived a sinless life and gave not only his life on the cross, but his life the whole time he was on this earth. We have nothing to lose and everything to gain we must sacrfice our selves on God's altar and die to the flesh so that we can stop crawling off the altar.
