Romans 12:1–"I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship."
To present your body as a living sacrifice is a theologically-dense proposition. Not only is it a commentary about how different Christian worship is in contrast to every other form of worship, but it is also a testament to the wholehearted devotion that God desires from us. It is insufficient for us to merely believe. We need to support our belief by offering ourselves in body to the will of God for our lives. Furthermore, Paul tells us that this kind of devotion is, it turns out, our spiritual worship. Let us consider, then, how important it is for us to remember that God wants it all–our bodies too!
