Offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God

 Romans 12:1-21

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.  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.

So in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith;

Love in action: Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality. 

Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. 

Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone.

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Why?

Love is just some words, but do it in actions, humble myself and honor others, love others who need.

Offer my body as a living sacrifice, because I belong to the Lord.

Paul teaches us many ways to perform the love actions. This is true love, for the Love us before we love the Lord.

How?

Love others with love and my heart. Do the actions to love others! May the Lord gives me the way, the mind and strength to love others around me!
