Romans 12:1–2
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.
2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the
renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and
acceptable and perfect will of God.
Worship God. Give yourself totally to God…mind, soul, and body. Be the clay
God can use to demonstrate His love to the world. Do not be conformed to
this world but be the instrument of God to bring transformation to the world.
Read Romans 1. The world has a desperate need to get right with God. Be
that catalyst of God to bring others into a right relationship with Him.
We are not a dead sacrifice being presented to God. We are a living sacrifice,
holy and alive. Let others see a living Jesus in you. If you cannot be that
sacrifice Monday through Saturday, is it possible to be that sacrifice on
Sunday?
The great nation fell. They succumbed to the evil plight of Satan. No longer
were they united in serving God but had become their own god. Duplicity is
not allowed in God’s Kingdom. One cannot profess with their mouth the Lord
Jesus and live for the world in their heart. To be a living sacrifice means to
be a continuous sacrifice.
The world needs the witness of Christians who are living sacrifices to God.
