The word for today is- Sacrifice !

Good morning,

The word for today is- Sacrifice !

 

The Bible says obedience is better that sacrifice. Sacrifice, in the Bible, is not just giving up something you would rather keep, it's also in one sense obedience to the word.. In Romans 12:1, Paul says, “I beseech you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, pleasing to God, which is your reasonable service.” Paul’s admonition to the believers in Rome was to sacrifice themselves to God."Let's look at Romans12:2  it helps us to understand, We are a living sacrifice for God by not being conformed to this world. What does this mean? It means lust of the flesh includes,desires for food, drink, sex, and anything else that satisfies physical needs. Lust of the eyes,whatever we see that others have we want it too. And the pride of life ,anything or anyone that puffs us up and puts us on the throne. This is not the plan or order of God, this is out of the will of our God. What is the way out? By being “transformed by the renewing of our minds.” We do this primarily through the power of God’s Word to transform us. We need to hear the word, Romans 10:17, read the word,Revelation 1:3, study the word,Acts 17:11, memorize the word,Psalm 119:9-11, and meditate on the word of God, Psalm 1:2-3  (Scripture) .It is the will of God for every believer to be a living sacrifice for (Him)Jesus Christ. Thank you God for your word. Amen !
