Paul wrote: “I appeal to you… to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.” (Romans 12:1) This verse doesn’t mean you need to have the body of a champion or look like a bodybuilder. Paul wasn’t talking about image. He was talking about surrender. 🛑 Self-Worship (Idolatry) - Training to be admired. - Staring at the mirror for validation. - Building your body but ignoring your soul. - Measuring worth by comparison. ✅ Stewardship (Worship) - Training for strength to serve your family, mission, and God. - Honoring the temple of the Holy Spirit. - Using discipline in the gym to fuel discipline in life. - Offering your energy back to God daily. Paul’s call was simple: don’t crawl off the altar. Be a living sacrifice. Use your body — whatever condition it’s in — not for vanity, but for obedience. 💡 Reflection for the week: Am I using my body to glorify myself, or to glorify God?
