Resist the World. Renew Your Mind. (Romans 12:1-2)

A sacrifice is an act of giving up something valued for the sake of something else regarded as worthy or more important.

Romans 12:1-2
Present your BODY as a sacrifice.

Present your body as a LIVING sacrifice: alive and available to God.

The focus isn’t on GIVING our lives in sacrifice; it’s on LIVING our lives in sacrifice.

Present your body as a HOLY sacrifice: one that is useful and dedicated to the Lord.
Romans 6:6, 11

Present your body as a PLEASING sacrifice; one that is acceptable and approved by Him.
Romans 12:1
Romans 12:2
Resist the World.
Romans 12:2
Renew your Mind.

God isn’t asking us to GIVE our lives in sacrifice, but to LIVE our lives in sacrifice.
