Romans 12:1
I beseech you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God…


I. THE SACRIFICE. We bring not slain beasts, but living souls and bodies.

II. THE SANCTUARY. Is not of this world, but the Church of our Lord Jesus Christ.

III. THE PRIESTS. Are not Levites, but Christian believers, renewed in the spirit of their minds.

(J. Lyth, D.D.)
