Week 5 Day 3: A Living Sacrifice

Romans 12:1 says that you are to present your body as a living sacrifice. Think about the days before Christ when people presented animal sacrifices. Christ came to change that practice when He died on the cross as the ultimate sacrifice. Christ wants you in His service not as a dead sacrifice but as a living one. He wants not material things sacrificed but lives sacrificed on the altar of service to Him. He does not want a life half lived. He wants a life fully invested in Him.

What would it mean for you to present your body as a living sacrifice? Think about each part of your body and how you can present it to God for His glory.

Hands
Eyes
Feet
Stomach
Sex organs
Ears
Tongue

Daily Thoughts: What did you get from today’s study?

Stop and ask God to help you remove barriers to surrendering that member of your body to the Master’s service. Ask Him to help you by making you aware of the Holy Spirits presence when you are tempted to use that part of your body in wrong living.
