To "give up" is to sacrifice.
Can we give up the idolatry of modern religion to receive the truth of the gospel of the Kingdom of God and His righteousness?
Can we give up our will to do God's will?
Can we give up pride for humility, comfort and convenience for righteousness?
Many people give up rights for benefits.
In some ancient cultures domestic animals were part of the life blood of society. The phrase life blood of society is a metaphor that expressing the idea that owning domestic animals was an essential element to survival in society.
Were the Altars of ancient societies and the ritual killing of animals just and allegory and metaphor of customs that actually had a practical social purpose? Were the altars of Clay and Stone symbols of systems that provided a social service that bound society together.
This was understood by the Essenes who read the Torah. They understood the Sophistry of Sacrifice.
Even the sacrifice of the Red Heifer was merely a metaphor for foreign aid. The only true sovereign is God but God has given us choice from the beginning. We may eat from, or be guided by, one of two Trees. One is the Tree of Life and the other of our own Knowledge of Good and Evil. Gods are ruling judges. We will wait upon the LORD or serve other gods by making Contracts, Covenants and Constitutions with them to obtain their Grace and Benefits.
If we join "a federation [which] may result in the sacrifice of sovereignty", our personal right to choose, or our liberty of choice we may be required to sacrifice or serve the gods many of the World. That service and allegiance comes in many forms including; taxation, military service, and even service in civilian work projects.
So have we sacrificed our liberty for comfort, for the wages of unrighteousness?
Have we looked to be Saved by Benefactors of the World and the Fathers of the earth who with One purse take from each of our neighbors bringing us closer to damnation as Merchandise through our Covetous Practices?
Have we returned to Bondage of Egypt in a Corvee system through a Corban that makes the word of God to none effect, like the pig returning to the mire?
What are we really Saved by?
Christ died that we might be saved but not without our repentance.
Do we have real Faith in Christ without Probity of The Way of Christ who came to serve and save others?
Are we gathering to save others or just ourselves?
Do we love others as much as ourselves, value other peoples life as much as we value our own?
Is not our Faith dead without works of Jesus Christ in our life?
If we do not daily sacrifice for others in service of righteousness then we do not have true faith in Christ or The Way and we are not saved by His grace.
God will give
Exodus 6:4 "And I have also established my covenant with them, to give[1] them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers."
The word give[1] in V4 appears in a variety of forms throughout the Bible. In Deuteronomy 7:3 we see Marriages[2] is not ChetTavNun חָתַן chathan but is TavTavChetTavNun תִתְחַתֵּ֖ן ṯiṯ-ḥat-tên which is about making contracts, covenants and constitutions with them in Spirit and Truth because of the double Tav.
In Deuteronomy 7:5 we see a word for destroy but not from shamad ShinMemDalet[3] nor Abad AlefBeitDelat[4] nor charam ChetReishMem[5] which are the most common Hebrew words translated destroy.
Here the word is NunTavTzadik[6] but in the text we see TavTavTzadikVav תִּתֹּ֔צוּ tit-tō-ṣū, again containing the Double Tav which means to not just destroy the form but the "spirit and truth". In Mark 7: 10- 13 Corban (Sacrifice) that is to say ( רצון לתת Ratzon La’Tet), a gift to God, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free of charge.” -
There are well over a hundred variation in the Hebrew text for this word give[1]. In V4 La’tet is written Lamed-Tav-Tav לתת, also with a double Tav and means the to give which includes the will to receive on condition. In V4 we see the words I will give which is normally nâthan, NunTavNun[1] but in the text we see another variation again wənāṯattî VavNunTavTavYod וְנָתַתִּ֨י with another double Tav which means that Israel must be willing to accept the gift on the conditions of their conformity to the righteousness of God in "Spirit and Truth".
