Present Your Body to God

By Laurette Willis, Director of PraiseMoves Fitness Ministry

“I beseech you, therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your body a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service” (Romans 12:1, NKJV)

Paul instructs us to “present your bodies a living sacrifice.” Each of us is advised to take care of our body since it is the “temple of the Holy Spirit” (1 Cor. 6:19, NKJV).

Here’s a sobering question: do you think you will be required to answer to the Lord for how well you have cared for your body?
