A LIVING SACRIFICE

IS YOUR ALL ON THE ALTAR

Tom was reading his Bible and came to Romans 12:1,
"mother,
what does the beseech mean?"
he questioned.
Mother explained,
"The word beseech means
'to earnestly plead.'
Tom, The missionary Paul wrote these words to the Christians in Rome.
He was pleading with them to give ther bodies to God to serve Him because God was so good to them."
Mother continued,
"God also longs for us to give our bodies to Him as a living sacrifice.
This means we will be willing to be what God wants us to be,
to do what He wants us to do,
and to go where He wants us to go.
This is the way we show our love to Him for all He has done for us."

I beseech you therefore,brethren,
by the mercies of God,
that you present your bodies a living sacrifice,
holy,
acceptable to God,
which is your reasonable service.

And do not be conformed to this workd,
but be transformed by the renewing of your mind,
that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Romans 12:1-2
