In this sermon, we are encouraged to present our bodies as a living sacrifice to God, which is the reasonable thing to do, considering what our Lord and Savior endured in His suffering and death to redeem us. We are to break away from the patterns of the world and establish new patterns of thinking and behaving, according to the patterns of the kingdom of God. At every stage of our spiritual development we should be using our God-ordained gifts to bear fruit in the kingdom, not thinking to highly of ourselves, but functioning as the body of Christ which consists of many different members working interdependently to accomplish God's will in these perilous times we are living in here on earth.
