Paul has shaped my thinking in so many ways. I admire his zeal for sure, but also his straight-to-the-point way of speaking. He doesn’t sugar coat things.
The expectation here is that you would present your body as a living sacrifice. Not that you would do so begrudgingly, but in worship.
When we think of what God has done for us, the thought of presenting our bodies not only seems reasonable, but also seems too small compared to the gift given to us.
We were dead in our trespasses and He made us alive together in Christ. We were hopeless and helpless and He won our victory at the cross.
He endured the ultimate torture and separation from His Father that we may come into His presence and have a relationship with Him.
He has adopted us into His family permanently. No longer are we on a path to hell and death, but to heaven and life.
Certainly, I freely give my body and all I have to Him who rescued me from darkness and gave me meaning and purpose!
Who’s willing to give it all with me?
