Romans 12:1
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.
The book of revelation says Jesus has loved us and washed us with His blood and has made us kings and priests to God. Every believer is a priest of God. You are a priest of the Most High God through Jesus Christ.
See yourself the way God sees you. As a priest of the Most High God, He has chosen you to serve Him, to represent Him and to reveal Him. It's a huge privilege and an awesome responsibility. As priests in the new covenant, we are to offer spiritual sacrifices to God through Jesus Christ. We offer our bodies as living sacrifice to God. Our body belongs to the Lord and is for the Lord. Jesus purchased your spirit and your body with His own blood. Our body is not ours, it is the Lords and because it's His, we offer it to Him. In times past, we offered our body members to uncleanness, lust and sin but now as priests of God, we offer our body members to God for righteousness. Your body is not an instrument of sin, its an instrument of righteousness. Declare, 'My body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. My body and every member of my body is the Lord's and is for the Lord because He has purchased my body with His own blood and I offer my body to Him as a living sacrifice, holy and well pleasing to God.' This is true and proper worship.
Friend, your eyes are the eyes of Jesus. Your hands are the hands of Jesus. Your body is the body of Christ. Be conscious, that He owns your body and offer to Him what is His, simply because He loves you and you love Him. Such sacrifice pleases Him and is holy and acceptable in His sight. Never doubt God's love for you. He has the best in store for you. You will see the goodness of God in the land of the living. This is Your time.
