“With eyes wide open to the mercies of God, I beg you, my brothers, as an act of intelligent worship, to give him your bodies, as a living sacrifice, consecrated to Him and acceptable by Him.
“Don’t let the world around you squeeze you into its own mold but let God remake so that your whole attitude of mind is changed…”
Commentary from William Barclay’s “The Daily Bible Study”
“…Take your body; take all the tasks that you have to do every day; take your work…and offer all of that as an act of worship to God…Real worship is the offering of everyday life to Him, not something transacted in a church.
“We must not be conformed to the world but transformed from it…Don’t try to match your life to all the fashions of this world; don’t be like a chameleon which takes its colour from its surroundings…we must undergo a change, not of our outward form, but of our inward personality.”
