Romans 12: Sacrifice

 Romans 12: Sacrifice

We are saved by the sacrifice of Jesus therefore, Paul says (MSG):

1-2 So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering/sacrifice. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.

May the marvelous grace of the Lord move in us so that we become glad in sacrifice our lives to the Lord. The Lord doesn't call us to take guns and make a revolution; however, there is a revolution that begins inside us. Imagine Paul preaching this to the church in Rome. In Nero's time, Paul and Peter were killed, however, the revolution continued and changed the world.
