Faithful Fridays is a day where christians can share there faith, a song, a bible verse, a bible study that you are working through or anything that God has put on your heart to share. You can go to Joy's blog Doodle Bug to get the rules and picture.
I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.
Romans 12:1
Did you know that appeal means beg? So what this verse is telling us is that we must keep our bodies clean for God, give our bodies to Him, which is the most practical way to worship him. God owns our bodies, once you become a christian He lives in us and He doesn't want bad stuff going into Him. What I mean is that He doesn't want you listening to something you shouldn't listen too, watching something you shouldn't watch, eating or drinking something you shouldn't, walking to places you shouldn't be going, using your hands for something you shouldn't do and so on. We are to be a living sacrifice for God. We mostly hear about sacrifices in the Old Testament. Sacrifices were killing animals to cover sins until Jesus came to save us, take away all of our sins.
For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats could take away sins.
Hebrews 10:4
If Jesus can sacrifice Himself for us we should try harder to be a living sacrifice for Him.
O be careful little eyes what you see
There's a Father up above
And He's looking down in love
So, be careful little eyes what you see
O be careful little ears what you hear
There's a Father up above
And He's looking down in love
So, be careful little ears what you hear
O be careful little hands what you do
There's a Father up above
And He's looking down in love
So, be careful little hands what you do
O be careful little feet where you go
O be careful little feet where you goThere's a Father up above
And He's looking down in love
So, be careful little feet where you go
O be careful little mouth what you say
O be careful little mouth what you sayThere's a Father up above
And He's looking down in love
So, be careful little mouth what you say
This song most people think is for little kids but it is so important to remember it for our everyday life's to do what pleases and glorifies God.
God bless you,
What an inspiring post! Your points are great and really made me think about that verse.
