God's beauty, His wisdom, His truth all become incarnate in His creation. In Christ, the world and mankind are "taken up," united to the nature and Person of God. In Jesus, God enters here and now into the world He made for His own delight and the delight of His children. If we allow Him, He enters here and now in us to take our world to Himself -- this place, this neighborhood, this moment. Wherever we are, there is Christ, and wherever is Christ, there is God. And where there is God, there is the kingdom of heaven.
When Paul says, "Offer your bodies to God, which is your reasonable sacrifice..."(Romans 12:1), he means this---allow God to enter His world through you.
