Offer it up! verse 1 In view of God’s mercy we are to offer our bodies/ourselves >The offering of ourselves – heart, mind, will, and life! His Mercy – Romans 5:6-9 ‘Living’ sacrifice – in contrast to a dead animal sacrifice. We are to give ourselves completely, unreservedly to Him for His 2. Don’t conform – be transformed! verse 3a >to the pattern of this world > its values, ways, lusts!
