Day 171 of 365
Living Sacrifices
Romans 12:1
Romans 12:1
“Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.”
Insight
Old Testament sacrifices were dead. God now calls you to be a living sacrifice—daily laying down your life for Him. This is true worship. Not songs on Sunday, but sacrifice on Monday. Your body, time, money, ambitions—all offered to God as an act of worship. It's living because it's ongoing, not once and done. It's sacrifice because it costs you something. In view of God's mercy, this is the only reasonable response.
Reflection
What does offering your body as a living sacrifice look like practically in your daily life? What area are you withholding from God?
