Romans 12:1New International Version (NIV)
A Living Sacrifice
12 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.
Commentary
The price Jesus paid on the cross is a complete show of love. The love of God cannot be fully understood. There is no amount of love or sacrifice we can offer that equals the price Jesus paid.
Presenting our bodies as living sacrifices to God is a must for all who say they love God. Jesus asked peter three time "do you love me more than these?". These here refer to all the distractions, sins, disappointments that take us away from God. If we love God more than all these, we must keep his commandments. To worship God, we must worship in spirit and i truth (John 4:24) "God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth". Worshiping God in spirit entails presenting our bodies as living sacrifices.
To experience Gods power, Lets present our bodies as living sacrifices...
