As a Living Sacrifice

ROMANS 12:1-2

¹ Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, ^[a]acceptable to God, which is your ^[b]spiritual service of worship. ² And do not be conformed to this ^[c]world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may ^[d]prove what the will of God is, that which is good and ^[e]acceptable and perfect.


This requires us to sacrifice ourselves to God, this does not necessarily mean physical dying for Him. It asks us to a:

-Full surrender (being: body, soul, spirit.
-Holy, acceptable to God as a living sacrifice
-Living as act of worship
-Living as instrument of righteousness, mercy, meekness, peace
-Not being conformed to this world
-Be transformed by the renewal of the mind
-Complete commitment to Christ
-Yielding with Christ, in His Spirit
-Dying to desires and selfishness
-The Lord is willing and able to do more than impossible
