Romans 12:1-2 New International Version (NIV)
12 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in
view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and
pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not
conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the
renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what
God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
The motivation for our holiness is God's incredible mercy
and grace. We offer ourselves to him because he has already shown us his love
through the sacrifice of Jesus. As we offer ourselves to honor him, we are
worshipping him. As we refuse to be molded into the lifestyle of the world, we
offer him praise. As we consistently do these things with our lives, God's will
becomes even more clear. With the Spirit's help, we are daily being transformed
to be more like Jesus (2 Cor. 3:18) as we display more of the character of God
(Gal. 5:22-23).
Thought for today:
Am I in sync with God’s will for my life?
