Not some but all

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)


What God requests of us is an abandonment, a pure submission. It is only then can we present ourselves to Him as a living sacrifice so that we can be transformed by the renewing of our minds.


“If there is something in our pocket that we forgot to lay on the altar, something hidden in our closet, or stuck under the sole of our shoe, the Lord wants us to bring it out into the open and lay it before him.”


C.S. Lewis is quoted as saying, “Christ says, "Give me All. I don't want so much of your time and so much of your money and so much of your work: I want You. I have not come to torment your natural self, but to kill it. No half-measures are any good...Hand over the whole natural self, all the desires which you think innocent as well as the ones you think wicked--the whole outfit. I will give you a new self instead. In fact, I will give you Myself: my own will shall become yours.”
