Living Sacrifices

To be a “living sacrifice” is not as radical as it may sound. The Apostle Paul didn’t extend this call to a special class of believers; he issued it to one and all. Alistair Begg explains that while Paul could have made this appeal on the basis of duty, he instead urged his readers to respond “in view of God’s mercy.” Giving all of ourselves over to God is an acknowledgement that He gave all for our salvation.
