LIVING SACRIFICES
Romans 12:1-2
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. 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.
Personal Challenge
There is so much that could be unpacked from these two verses. We are being asked, actually beseeched, by Paul, to present our bodies as living sacrifices to our God. Jesus put an end to the old sacrificial system by being the ultimate sacrifice. We are now the only sacrifices that God wants, living sacrifices that have chosen to be dead to the world, holy sacrifices striving to be acceptable to God, transformed sacrifices that are no longer conformed to this world, sacrifices that have renewed minds that are focused on being acceptable to God and seeking His perfect and glorious will. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, the sinner!
