Many people inside the church think God cares only that we obey. In fact, many believe that it is even more honorable--and therefore more righteous--when we obey God against all desire to obey Him.

Then it gets us out of the sanctuary into the world into places of obeying and loving ordering our lives as living sacrifices in the world to the glory of God. There is a lot involved, all the parts of our lives out on the street participating in the work of salvation.
