Be a living sacrifice

Written 6-6-25 the season of Pentecost

Oswald Chambers said in his book My Utmost for His Highest.

Genesis 22:9 And Abraham built an alter…. And bound Isaac his son

We think the final thing God wants of us is the sacrifice of death. He wants us to sacrifice our lives. Not, I am willing to go to death with Thee, but, I am willing to be identified with Thy death so that I may sacrifice my life to God. God doesn’t want to give things up for the sake of giving them up.

It is of no value to God to give Him your life for death. He wants you to be a living sacrifice to let Him have all your powers that have been saved and sanctified through Jesus. This is the thing that is acceptable to God.

Romans 12:1 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. And do not be conformed to tis world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

And by the way,

Hebrews 10:10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

In Romans 5:18 of the Amplified Bible,  “So then, as through one trespass [Adam’s sin], there resulted condemnation for all men, even so through one act of righteousness [Christ’s death on the cross] there resulted justification of life to all men.”

You see Jesus died once for all of us, so we don’t have to die.

Forever in His Love, always
