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.Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will (Romans 12:1-2). In my room I decided to write inspirational phrases on my wall. One of those phrases says "Be the change you wish to see in the world." I wrote this because Christians tend to only judge others for what they do wrong but do not examine themselves first. With this quote I am reminding myself that I have to be that change to then help others make the change. As I am transformed by the renewing of my mind, then I will follow God's will and change the world through God. Being the change we want to see in the world starts with worshiping God. The change starts from the inside out. In this verse it mentions how offering our bodies as a living sacrifice is an act of worship.
