“Therefore, I urge you… to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice… this is your true and proper worship.”
— Romans 12:1 (NIV)

🔥 What Does It Mean to Be a “Living Sacrifice”?

1. The Radical Invitation

• Not just Sunday worship → 24/7 surrender
• Not just giving money → offering your very self
• Not perfection → willing availability

Mindshift:
“My ordinary moments become worship when done for God’s glory”

💡 Why This Matters Today

Culture says:

• “Follow your heart”
• “You do you”

God says:

• “Your body is my temple” (1 Cor. 6:19)
• “Be transformed” (Rom. 12:2)

Reflection Question:
What’s one area I’ve been keeping “off the altar”

🙌 Prayer of Total Surrender

Leader (You):
“God, I surrender…”

Response (Readers pray):

• My body → “Use it to serve, not just satisfy”
• My mind → “Renew it with Your truth”
• My schedule → “Interrupt my plans for Your purposes”
• My relationships → “Make them reflect Your love”

“Take all that I am, and use it for Your glory.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
