Living Sacrifice

Scripture of the day:

Romans 12:1 (KJV)
Chapter 12
1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

... Living sacrifice... Someone who willingly walks to the slaughter... Carries his cross... (You can't really nail your own hands, but that's for another day)... Someone who died/ was sacrificed... Yet lives... Resurrected like Christ...

...that ye present your bodies resurrected like Christ...

...we died to sin... We are now new creatures; slave to righteousness... Present yourself as the new creature. To present yourself, you must see yourself as the new creature...

See yourself dead (sacrifice) and risen (living) like Christ.

See yourself as new... Empowered... Spirit filled... God lead... Loved... Loving...

...by the mercies of God...

Mercy...

...wasn't left dead...

... Allowed to live... Twice.

...still alive.

...by the mercies of God, present your bodies a living sacrifice...

...still alive...

Don't die to righteousness.

Challenge:

Don't die to righteousness.
