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. (Romans 12:1)

Paul wrote to the believers in Rome imploring them to present their bodies as a living sacrifice. What fascinates me is this is to be considered doing my reasonable service unto the Lord. This is not to be considered the exception, but rather the rule. If we were to honestly look at our lives each of us would have to admit there is something that we present ourselves sacrificially for. The next thing we must ask is it really worth dying for. Jesus died for you; He is definitely worth sacrificing your lives for. This is your reasonable service.
