Hello and welcome. This is Courageous ASMR, and today I’m going to discuss how to practically implement Romans 12:1 from the Bible in our lives.
If you’ve ever read the Bible and wondered how to apply it to your life, you’re not alone. Sometimes, it can be helpful to ask questions and seek additional ideas. While this is not meant to replace conversations with people in the church, it can provide additional insights.
Romans 12:1 says, ‘Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.’
So, how can we live out Romans 12:1 practically in our lives?
