A Living Sacrifice

Using Romans 12:1 as a starting point, minister Anderson George summarizes Romans 1-11 to get to the "therefore" that begins verse one of chapter twelve: "Therefore I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship." The apostle Paul begs us here to offer our bodies in service to God because of the mercy and grace He has bestowed upon us.
