Title: Reflection of our devotion to God.
Offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God – this is your spiritual act of worship. – Romans 12:1b
Our bodies belong to God. Kind of a strange thought, isn’t it? But that’s what Paul says in Romans. Our bodies are to be a “living sacrifice.”
Does your lifestyle…the things you do with your body…reflect that? Consider these questions:
+ Do the places you go reflect that you are a living sacrifice?
+ Do your eating & drinking habits reflect a body that belongs to God?
+ Do the words that come out of your mouth reflect a life that is sacrificed for God’s holy and pleasing service?
Most of us think of our bodies as a reflection of our personal values…of who we are. But that’s not what Paul challenges us with. Your body is to be a reflection of your devotion to God.
Real men treat their bodies as a living sacrifice.
