Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;
(Isaiah 1:16)I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
(Romans 12:1) Our true life of worshiping the Lord is our conduct
In Romans 12:1, Paul urges Christians to present their bodies as living sacrifices to God, sanctifying themselves and dedicating themselves to serving and pleasing God. The word "sanctify" means to set aside for a single purpose, so Christians must consecrate themselves to serving God and not the world. This is the only way to truly please God and constitutes true worship. The Greek word "logiken" used in the phrase "your rational worship" means something that is reasonable and spiritual, involving both reason and spirituality. Therefore, living a holy life that continuously sanctifies oneself is the true and logical worship of God. True worshipers are those who consecrate themselves to the Lord and commit to living a life that is pleasing to Him every day.
