Read Romans 12:1-2. We can give ourselves to God to advance his glory here now on earth because of his great gospel of grace. So it is much better for me to give myself up to his love than give myself up to loving myself and living for me. Of course as Christians we are still often tempted to love ourselves first, but we know this is stupid. So thanks be to God by the gospel we are awakened out of sleep to see we are risen with Christ to give ourselves to him.
