Too many Christians think they have to do this or that for God. It is not about what I do for God (religion) but what I allow the Spirit to do thru me. You see “religion” keeps you busy trying to please God, by your actions, and grace teaches you that God is already please by the offering of Jesus! One says “work hard” to please God and the other (grace) says God is already pleased. If you don't think you must do this or that to please God, suddenly you are released in the Spirit to be used of God to do His will. God does not desire sacrifice. That bears repeating, God does not desire sacrifice, but rather a body to do His will (that is you and I)!
Now what if we stopped being so busy trying to “please” a God that was already pleased, with seeing us thru the blood of Jesus, and started getting busy doing our Father's will. What if His will was done in me as it is done in heaven? What if His kingdom was to come in me, where He rules and reigns in me and does His will thru my body presented to Him for just that purpose.
It is not hard to see, Jesus wants to work in the earth, thru His body (you and I). We just get in the way, when we "try" to be holy and religious, rather than being soft, tender and willing. Be blessed.
