Romans 12:1-2 I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. 2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
God desires every believer to lead a righteous life as he calls us to Godly living. Presenting ourselves as a Living sacrifice means giving control of our lives to God by allowing the Holy Spirit to live through us. Our sacrifice needs to be Holy, set apart for a special purpose. It also states we are to be acceptable, like Jesus, forgiving, loving, and helping others; yet speaking the truth in love. This type of lifestyle will attract some people towards us and drive others away. As a living sacrifice we are not to be conformed to this world. As media tells us, we need to be rich, attractive, influential, or famous, to be happy or content. Rather, we’re to be transformed by the renewing of our minds by seeking scripture, focusing on Holy things of God, applying biblical truth to your heart, and learning to listen to God. Then you will know the perfect will of God for your life.
