Key Verse: 12:1
First, do not conform to the pattern of this world (1-3). God's mercy for us sinners is so great that he gave even his one and only son to save us. We became a new creation bought by God. Therefore, we must offer ourselves as a living sacrifice as our true and proper worship. It is not to feel holy once a week by coming to church but to daily live a God centered life, being transformed by renewing our mind not conforming to the pattern of this world. This is God's good, pleasing and perfect will for us.
Second, humble service in the Body of Christ (4-8). Faith in God is personal. But we all belong to one body of Christ. Just as we have one body with many different members, so each of us received different gifts. With them we should build up one Body of Christ whether it is prophesying, serving, teaching, encouraging, giving, leading and showing mercy.
Prayer: Lord, help me offer my body as a living sacrifice and use my God given gift wholly to build up the body of Christ.
One Word: Offer your body as a living sacrifice!
