We have to identify the areas of our life that are not addressed by God

Dr. Roberto Miranda

(Audio: Español)

RESUMEN: In Romans 12, the apostle Paul calls us to present our bodies as a living sacrifice. The word "bodies" refers not only to our biological aspect but also to everything that has to do with our human nature, including our psychology, will, memories, intelligence, emotions, and more. Unlike the spirit, which is the higher part of our being, the body is the part that interacts with the world and can be in conflict with God's purposes. Therefore, we must continually bring our flesh to the Lord and ask Him to deal with it and make it an instrument for His holiness and justice. This involves identifying the areas of our life that are not addressed by God and presenting them to Him in prayer, fasting, confession, and more. By doing this, we can become a living sacrifice for God's glory.
