I beseech you therefore brethren by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God which is your reasonable service. Romans 12:1
I beseech you therefore brethren by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God which is your reasonable service. Romans 12:1
When one enlists into military service, in essence, he belongs to the branch he joined, but when one enlists in the Kingdom of God his life is sacrificed to the Most High. In other words, you are no longer your own, you belong to God!
From the time one asks for forgiveness for his sins and repents he becomes a living sacrifice, set apart for kingdom service to do that which the Spirit leads him to do. We are purchased with the Savior's blood, washed from all sin, and anointed with Holy Spirit power. As we begin to grow, our gifts and callings become evident and we step out in faith to serve the Lord.
We as believers become temples of living stone where Holy Spirit dwells and executes the will of God in the earth through us! Think of how important it is to belong to God and to be used by Him as representatives and ambassadors of the Kingdom of God!
Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's. I Corinthians 6:19,20
