Living Sacrifices

Living Sacrifices. That is what the Scriptures tell followers of Christ to be: living sacrifices. But this is not a sacrifice for the forgiveness of sins nor to earn God’s favor. That is a gift to be received by grace through faith. This is a worshipful response to the manifold mercies of God. But we live in a world that is working hard to conform us to its ways, so our reasonable service is to be transformed by the renewing of our mind. And what we find is that following the Lordship of Christ is the good and pleasing life. (Romans 12.1-2) June 23, 2024
