The New Testament teaches us to offer spiritualsacrifices to God through Christ, in the form of service to others, time, sharing of our means, praise, and worship (among other things). Romans 12:1 - I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. Hebrews 13:5, 6 - Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name. But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. 1 Peter 2:5 - you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

jesus wasn't crucified because he was the son of God, but rather he was sacrificed so that humanity's sins could be atoned for.
