Romans 12:1-8

Illustration of Romans 12:1-2 NLT -- And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you.

Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.
