The key to a productive and satisfying Christian life is not in getting more from God but in giving all that we are and have to Him. The committed life, however, is shown by the degree to which you and I stay in the secular world without being trapped by it and without failing to be a witness to the world.
So how do we do this?
In these 2 verses we discover three elements of presenting ourselves to God as a living, holy, and acceptable sacrifice.
Those who want to become discerners of pursuing God’s will together we must have some basic spiritual practices in place to keep us in a willing posture of willing surrender to God.
