06/13/2025 – “There is actually only one thing you can dedicate to God, and that is your right to yourself.” Oswald Chambers (see Romans 12:1 & commentary from John Gill)
“Therefore, brothers, ,by the mercies of God, I urge you to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God; this is your spiritual worship.” Romans 12:1
Check out John Gill’s commentary on this verse!:

The words that seemed to jump out at me this morning:
“… and regards men sanctified by the Spirit of God, and whose actions flow from a principle of holiness, and are performed under the influence of the Holy Spirit; and such sacrifices as are both living and holy, cannot but be
acceptable to God
through the mediation of his Son, by whom, as the persons, the souls and bodies of his people, so their spiritual sacrifices, whether of prayer or praise, are only acceptable to him…”
Soli Deo Gloria!
