Topic: Present Your Body A Living Sacrifice.
Romans 12:1 KJV
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
The work of salvation is that which the Lord Jesus Himself has accomplished in our spirit, He perfected our spirit because of His Spirit within and will not need any further improvement. The believer's spirit is saved and perfected, however, this believer whose spirit is saved must present his body unto God. By presenting your body, we mean consciously and constantly yielding to the leading of the Spirit and God's word. Even though your spirit is saved, your body still has all the tendencies to commit sin, your body is not yet saved or sanctified. An unyielded body will live as though he or she has never met the Lord. The body here talks about self. Self centeredness has always been the issue, the devil wants you to be conscious of your self, and selfish believer will find it difficult to please God because he will always allow his will, mind and emotions to prevail over what the Lord wants.
Mark 8:34 KJV
And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
In serving the Lord, the first thing He requires from you is self denial because you cannot hold on to your self will and successfully serve Jesus. However, the devil will always point you to yourself, reminding you of how you must please yourself, it is always about you, putting yourself first, self indulging. But this is against God's standards, it is always about God and Him first, He must be the first priority, otherwise, you won't grow up as a believer. God always uses yielded vessels.
Beloved, put God first, make Him the center of whatever drives. Living sacrifice is the consequences you must suffer for obeying the Lord. That's why the Bible calls it sacrifice, sacrifice is costly. Obey God, take up your cross daily and follow Him.
The Lord has blessed you.
