A Living Sacrifice - Romans 12:1

Romans 12:1 ESV 


I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.


Worship is not confined to a particular hour of the week. Instead, it is a mode of life which is congruent with knowing the living God. We are to love Him with all we have and all we are. This includes our minds, hearts, bodies, and spirits. 


Presenting our bodies as a living sacrifice is living a life that reflects the transformation that is ongoing on the inside. It is the sacrifice of the animal self for the life of God. 


Worship is an attitude and posture of being that corresponds to the present and everlasting God.
