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

Weren’t you under the impression that salvation was by grace through faith? Well relax, it still is. But don’t relax too much. Romans 12 says that although our ticket into heaven has been paid in full, there is still a reasonable service that is expected of us. And what is that reasonable service? It boils down to self discipline, presenting our bodies as a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God.

The biggest problem you’ll have with a living sacrifice is that it is continually crawling off of the altar. That’s why Paul said “I die daily.” We have to commit to dying to ourselves, everyday. Living a life that is holy, acceptable unto God is never easy, but in this world, it is next to impossible. But remember, with God all things are possible.

This week, ask God to show you the areas of your life that need changing so you can be a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God. Then, take up an attitude of self-discipline through daily prayer and Bible reading and give God your reasonable service.

Come back every Sunday for a new Prepper Bible Study! The most important prep of all is knowing GOD. Jesus said “what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world yet loses his own soul?” Prepper translation: “What good will it do you to survive the coming economic collapse, nuclear war or even a zombie apocalypse if you don’t know you will go to heaven when you die.” A recent study found that 10 out of 10 people die! On that day we will meet our Maker. It only makes sense to be prepared for that day. Click here to learn more about knowing GOD.

Have a blessed day and happy prepping!
