Good Morning Over comers!
"Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—His good, pleasing and perfect will (Ro 12:1-2)."
We must possess a single-minded passion to please God in love, devotion, praise, and holiness and to offer our bodies for His service. (Not your service or to please yourselves, but His service.) Our greatest desire should be to live lives of holiness and to be accepted by God.
This requires separating ourselves from the world and drawing ever nearer to God. We must LIVE for God, WORSHIP Him, OBEY Him, take His side for righteousness and against sin, RESIST and hate evil, perform works of kindness for others, IMITATE Christ, follow Him, serve Him, live by the Spirit and be filled with the Spirit.
We must offer our bodies to God as dead to sin and as the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 CO 6:15,19). 1 Corinthians 6:15 says, "Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ Himself?" Verse 19 says, "Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from GOD?"
As a Christian, believer, and remnant, your body is the personal dwelling place of the Holy Spirit, where the Spirit is God's mark on you that you belong to Him. Because the Spirit lives in you and you belong to God, your body must never be defiled by any impurity or evil, whether by immoral thoughts, desires, deeds, films, books or magazines. Rather, you must live in such a way as to honor and please God with your body. My God help us all!
After we have presented our bodies in such a way, then we will be able to test and prove what God's will is, His good, pleasing, and perfect will. Amen!
God Bless
