Living Sacrifice
Pastor Tope Abiara.
Romans 12:1-2.
[ ] A living sacrifice denotes living for God in every possible way.
[ ] A living sacrifice goes beyond accepting Christ. It is living for Him and His will to be done.
[ ] A dead sacrifice was in the old testament. Kill an animal and they don't leave the altar.
[ ] A living sacrifice gets to leave the altar. Even though you leave the church, your life must represent God.
[ ] Your style of living. We have free will, but by choice, what do we do? What activities do you participate in? The kind of music you listen to. Letting go of things you have pleasure in. It has to align with God's attribute.
[ ] God is interested in all your choices. Your career. Your purpose.
[ ] Your speech. Your reactions. How do you use your body. Your thoughts in your mind, do they glorify God.
[ ] Your time. How do you spend it.
[ ] Your resources. Your money. Are you so tight- fi**ed?
[ ] It involves obedience because it is hard. Luke 22:42.
[ ] Sometimes it will feel like you have been abandoned, but God is there.
[ ] Mattew 2:19-23. Joseph the father of Jesus bent to the will of God.
[ ] God's will did not end in the biblical ages. It still pertains to now.
[ ] Aligning with God's will alters yours.
[ ] Nothing is .ore beneficial
[ ] He becomes more interested in you
[ ] You become his friend.
[ ] It elevates you.
[ ] You will experience permanent joy
[ ] You recognize that your life is no longer yours.
