Instead, give yourselves completely to God, for you were dead, but now you have new life.<\/p>\n<p>So use your whole body as an instrument to do what is right for the glory of God.<\/p>\n<p>What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?<\/p>\n<p>Or don\u2019t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? We were therefore buried with Him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.<\/p>\n<p>For if we have been united with Him in a death like His, we will certainly also be united with Him in a resurrection like His.<\/p>\n<p>For we know that our old self was crucified with Him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin \u2014 because anyone who has died has been set free from sin.<\/p>\n<p>Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with Him. For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, He cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over Him. The death He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life He lives, He lives to God.<\/p>\n<p>In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus <strong>(Romans 6:1-12)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>He Himself bore our sins\u201d in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; \u201cby His wounds you have been healed.\u201d <strong>(1 Peter 2:24)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>May God Himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ <strong>(1 Thessalonians 5:23)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the desires of the flesh <strong>(Romans 13:14)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God <strong>(2 Corinthians 5:21)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which He bought with His own blood <strong>(Acts 20:28)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong><u>(Romans 12:1-2)<\/u><\/strong><strong> &#8211;<\/strong> Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God\u2019s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God\u2014this 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\u2019s will is\u2014His good, pleasing and perfect will.<\/p>\n<p>So use your whole body as an instrument to do what is right for the glory of God. In view of God\u2019s mercy, offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy, and pleasing to God\u2014this is your true and proper worship to fulfill the purpose of your existence.<\/p>\n<p>I offer myself on the altar of God Almighty, the altar of purification by fire upon which His consuming fire of holiness and righteousness burns.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Sanctify them by the truth; Your Word is truth <strong>(John 17:17)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God <strong>(Ephesians 6:17)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>1 Corinthians 10:13<\/u><\/strong> \u2013 No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind.
