Living Sacrifices, Part III,

Romans 12:1-2

#1—You give God your body—v1

Luke 2:22 Joseph & Mary brought Jesus to the Temple to present Him to God

To present: to place beside; to place at one’s disposal; to surrender; to offer, as to offer a sacrifice/offering to God; or to present a special offering to God

Luke 9:23 “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.

#2—You give God your mind—v2a

Don’t be “conformed” to society. Don’t lower yourself to the values of those who are contrary to God’s ways. Instead, rise above the values of the world; have the mind of Christ in you by following the leadership of the Holy Spirit in your life.

Hide God’s Word in your heart! Stay in fellowship with other believers! Focus on the good things God has to offer.

#3—You give God your will—v2b
