Action Steps
- At the end of each day, reflect on how well you lived out the call to be a “living sacrifice.” Did you honor God with your body and actions? Confess where you fell short.
- Look for small ways every day to serve others. View these opportunities as acts of sacrifice and worship to God.
- Whenever you face a decision or interaction, pause briefly and ask “How can I honor God in this moment? How can I present myself as a living sacrifice here?” Then act accordingly.
