Today, we’re going to take a look at a
bit of Scripture that I can’t help but believe that most of you adults have
heard at least one sermon on. It starts with these familiar words.
I
appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your
bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your
spiritual worship. Romans 12.1
This is where I’m supposed to talk
about devoting your body to God. And that might get a little interesting if I
break it down using parts of the body symbolically. Feet represent where you
go. Hands, what you do. Ears what you listen to. Eyes, what you look at. And
mouth what you say. What do you think? Good outline? Well, I’m not going to
talk about any of that this morning. Instead of preaching on Paul’s commands
about your bodies, I’m going to speak to you about what Paul has to say about
the other aspect of who you are.
