LIVING SACRIFICE

LIVING SACRIFICE

Scripture Reading: Romans 12:1-5

Devotional:- “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” (V. 1) NKJV

    Jesus is the sacrificial Lamb of God. He laid down His life to redeem us. His blood has become the price of our salvation (Ephesians 1:7). The Bible calls Him the first among the living (Romans 8:29). This means we are to follow His example to please the Lord. That is why the word of God says “we are to be a living sacrifice”.

A living sacrifice is a sacrifice that is still alive. Whatever is sacrificed ought to be killed. A sacrifice is a life released to be used to serve and to worship God. It is to let go a life in honour and worship to God. Being a living sacrifice is to surrender once life to God to be used. That is why the Bible says “this is our reasonable service.

Friend, if you want to be a vessel unto honour, then, you must present your bodies as a living sacrifice to God. Then, the Holy Spirit will sanctify your body and make it holy and acceptable unto the Lord. This will happen when you stop conforming to the way of the world. Then start to take time to study the word of God. Let the Holy Spirit transform you into the will and the way of God. Do this by yielding to His instructions. Then, you will become a living sacrifice and a vessel unto honour. Peace

PRAYER: Lord, help me to totally surrender to you

“A SACRIFICIAL LAMB IS DEAD TO HIMSELF BUT ONLY ALIVE TO GOD”
