Romans 12:1 “I beseech you therefore brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service”

 

A living sacrifice is when we as people of God commit to doing things God’s way. A living sacrifice is when we say “NO” to the flesh. Daily we sacrifice to our flesh. We say “NO” to all the temptations the devil throws our way.

 

A living sacrifice unto God refuses drugs and alcohol on those Friday and Saturday nights when our friends are going to the club. A living sacrifice resists the temptation of premarital sex when our body desires it. A living sacrifice shows kindness, compassion, and love in the face of those who treat us unkindly.

 

When we sacrifice ourselves unto God others will be inspired to do the same.

 

Be the inspiration for others.
