Daily worshipper
March 25, 2018
Paul encourages the Roman believers that in light of God’s mercies they are to offer their bodies as a living sacrifice, their spiritual worship. We take a look at what that means for us today, how we too are to have our minds renewed by Christ and specifically how that means more than just right information but right valuing. That Jesus truly is our treasure, the pearl of great price and that affects how we live our lives in this world. We are not conformed to the world’s values but we are transformed by the mercies of God, we live for His kingdom.

A Living Sacrifice
12:1 I appeal to you therefore, brothers,1 by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.2 2 Do not be conformed to this world,3 but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.4
