A Living Sacrifice

Rom 12:1-2. "I beseech you therefore, Brethren, by the Mercies of God, that you present your bodies a Living Sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, Will of God."  Paul says something here that is so powerful, and we as believers must hold fast to this Word, "I beseech (beg) you therefore, Brethren". Paul is reaching out to the readers with a heart that is desperate, and Filled with God's Spirit. He is Begging that we present our bodies a Living Sacricifice, Holy, and acceptable unto God. We must take this serious, because it is the Lord saying this to you and I, with His Whole Heart. When He died on the cross, He was also desperate to see you and I free from the sin of this world. It takes Christ in our hearts to became a Living Sacrifice.  Through Him we are acceptable unto God. So be transformed in your  Mind, by putting away the worldly ways of thinking, with its superficial customs.  Start thinking as the Lord thinks, and doing what the Word of God says. In doing this you will find what is good, acceptable, and perfect in His sight for you. Run to God today with a Praise of Sacrifice.
