I urge you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. (Romans 12:1)

“Present Your Bodies a Living Sacrifice” (Rom. 12:1)

This verse raises some questions Are not sacrifices offered for forgiveness? Did Jesus not give His body on the cross for us? How can we present our bodies as a sacrifice? Do we atone for our own sins?

Sacrifices in the OT (Leviticus 1-6)

Sacrifices for atonement –The sin offering –The trespass offering –The yearly sacrifice of atonement Sacrifices after atonement –The peace offering –The free-will offerings –The thank offering

For the Law, since it has only a shadow of the good things to come and not the very form of things, can never by the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect those who draw near. Otherwise, would they not have ceased to be offered, because the worshipers, having once been cleansed, would no longer have had consciousness of sins? But in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins year by year. For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. (Hebrews 10:1-4)

Jesus Gave His Body as a Sacrifice for Sin (Heb. 10:5-18)

Though God had commanded animal sacrifices for the forgiveness of sins, what He really wanted was for man to live a life of obedience to Him. What man failed to do, Jesus did. He never offered a single sacrifice for sin because He obeyed God’s law without sin. But, having lived without sin, He could offer His sinless life in death as a sacrifice in our behalf.

Jesus' one sacrifice is sufficient for all time to satisfy the demands of justice and make forgiveness possible for all mankind! When a person becomes a Christian he enters a new covenant with God in which sins are remembered never again!

Jesus did for us what we could not do for ourselves! for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, (Romans 3:23) The next day he *saw Jesus coming to him, and *said, “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! (John 1:29)

We Must Give Our Bodies as a Thank-offering to God!

The offering we make is our service as God’s priests in offering up spiritual sacrifices to Him. Through Him then, let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that give thanks to His name. And do not neglect doing good and sharing; for with such sacrifices God is pleased. (Hebrews 13:15-16)

It is a living sacrifice! It is a holy sacrifice! It is an acceptable sacrifice!

It seems that the least that we could do for one who has so loved us is to serve Him in His prescribed way! To do less is to really not appreciate what Christ has done for us!

We ought to give God our best! Our attitude should not be “what is the least I can do”, but instead “what is the most I can do”! What is the best I can give?
