"Therefore, I urge you, brothers,
in view of God's mercy,
to offer your bodies as living sacrifices,
holy and pleasing to God
—this is your spiritual act of worship."
These are Paul's words to his brothers in Rome... they transcend time and culture and apply to us today. In the King James verson, the last phrase is translated "...this is your reasonable service".
No matter the version you read, the point is very clear: what is expected of us - as a result of the mercy of God - is simply... everything. Our very lives, our being, our bodies.
I love the new song by Mercy Me. In 'God With Us', Bart Millard writes (and sings) about our 'reasonable service' - that of giving our very lives to Him:
it's such a tiny offering
compared to Calvary
but nevertheless
We lay it at your feet
Our attitude should not be defeatist: 'what do I have to give to Him, especially compared to what He gave to me'... instead, it should be victorious: 'all I can give is all I have... and that's what I will do...'
yeah, it's teeny tiny compared to the unfathomable sacrifice He gave on the cross... but what else can I do? What other response can I have? Once I begin to grasp what He did for me, there is no other response that seems 'reasonable' than to give Him my very self.
God Bless!
