Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
We have two bodies.The body is physical and spiritual body. The physical body is very weak because it consisted of bone and flesh. The physical body needs physical food and could be exhausted. So that the physical body needs to rest with enough sleep.
The second body is a spiritual body. The spiritual body Complement of our physical body so we now live. Spiritual body can also weak and hungry. Therefore, the physical body needs spiritual food which is the words of God. The Apostle Paul in his letter in Romans invites us to offer our bodies as living sacrifices, are pleasing to God. Physical body and our spiritual body we are dedicated to the glory of God's name. This means that our good deeds and worship we are not only happening in the church alone. But there is also the environment of our lives. maybe our neighbors, our friends, or perhaps maybe even our enemies. Good deeds and worship are thus referred to as the true worship. And that's the way we to get the spiritual food. Ie read, reflect and make the words of God. .
The strong body of spiritual will cause The strong body of physical. So first we have to get the spiritual food.
Jesus gave an example of how he did the true worship. Jesus is regarded as the Jews want to hang out and give a living water to the Samaritan woman's. The Jews at that time did not associate with Samaritans. Jesus also wanted to stay with the tax collector Zacchaeus who considered sinners by the Jews. Almost all were not performed in the temple but is in the midst of the community.
What Jesus did must be our Model. By continuing to do well in the church worship and in the environment of our lives then our spiritually and physically will be stronger.
God bless you
