It is not necessarily a great sacrifice to voice our worship to God in a church service where people are gathered for that very purpose.

We must realize that true godly worship involves a lifestyle that brings honour to Christ in words and actions.

We must offer our bodies to God as dead to sin and alive to God and as the temple of the Holy Spirit.

This requires separation from the patterns and practices of the world so we can pursue a deeper relationship with God.

Our goal should be to show God’s holiness (moral purity, spiritual wholeness, separation from evil and complete dedication to God) in all we do.

Out of gratitude to God for His mercy and salvation, we should be completely devoted to loving Him, living by His standards and serving His purposes for our lives. That might mean giving up something precious to us in order to put the Lord first. It is putting the Lord first in our life.

It is more specifically a commitment that is shown in our individual behavior, in our personal integrity, in our loyalty to home and family and community, as well as to the Church. Total commitment is not commitment to the Church and its activities. This means that we must hold nothing back from Him because God holds nothing back from us – John 3:16. Ultimately, what our Father in Heaven will require of us is more than a contribution it is a total commitment, a complete devotion, all that we are and all that we can be. But the Bible also teaches that the chief commitment of our lives is to God Himself. – Romans 12:2.Īs Christians we are committed in various aspects of life: to our families, neighbours, employers, the church, our health, and in all things we do and say. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is-His good, pleasing and perfect will. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. 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.
