Living sacrifice scripture

Romans 12:1-2 a living sacrifice, living in and for Him

What did Paul mean when he said to offer your body as a living sacrifice? We choose to lay down our own desires and live to honor and obey.

God does not require animal sacrifice from us anymore since Jesus Christ offered himself once and for all. We are encouraged by Paul in Romans 12:1-2 to offer our bodies as a living sacrifice to God which is our reasonable service. This blog post talks about what is meant by sacrifice and how we can sacrifice our bodies to God as a living sacrifice. |spiritual growth |Christianity |offering yourself |christian living

For even the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve others and to give His life as a ransom for many. ~ Mark 10:45

A Living Sacrifice

How can we gain Jehovah’s support? The Bible points the way when it says: “Taste and see that Jehovah is good.” (Psalm 34:8) That is a warm invitation, but what does it mean? It is an encouragement to serve Jehovah and conform our lives fully to his will. Such a course means giving up some of our freedom, making sacrifices. In some cases, it can even lead to trials​—persecution and suffering. Yet, those who wholeheartedly accept Jehovah’s invitation need never regret doing so.
