"Christ has redeemed us by giving himself as our ransom; he is the price paid for every soul, and...has made us his own. So now that we belong to the Lord we must follow His will in all things, not living for ourselves anymore but only for him who has purchased us with his life. We are no longer autonomous but belong to the One who has bought us, and we must be ruled by His will...Those who realize Christ gave Himself up and became our Passover will in their turn offer themselves to God as living sacrifices, holy and acceptable. They will become spiritual oblations. Refusing to conform to the standards of the world, they will change their whole outlook so as to know the will of God, what is good, what is pleasing to Him, and best in every way..."

~ Saint Gregory of Nyssa
