an act of slaughtering an animal or person or surrendering a possession as an offering to God or to a divine or supernatural figure.
an animal, person, or object offered in a sacrifice.

"we must all be prepared to make sacrifices"
synonyms: surrender, giving up, abandonment, renunciation, forfeiture, relinquishment, resignation, abdication

As a verb

verb: sacrifice; 3rd person present: sacrifices; past tense: sacrificed; past participle: sacrificed; gerund or present participle: sacrificing

offer or kill as a religious sacrifice.
give up (something important or valued) for the sake of other considerations.

To "give up" is to sacrifice. Can we give up our will for that of God's will? Can we give up pride for humility, comfort and convenience for righteousness?

Many people give up rights for benefits.

the only true sovereign is God but God has given us choice from the beginning. We may eat or be guided by one of two trees, one 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 liberty we will be required to Sacrifice or serve the Gods many of the World. That service and allegiance or " comes in many forms, taxes, military and even service in civilian work projects.

So have we sacrificed our liberty for comfort?

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 to the mire?

What are we really Saved by?

Can we have real Faith without Probity?

Faith is dead without works...
