【罗12:1】所以弟兄们，我以神的慈悲劝你们，将身体献上，当作活祭，是圣洁的，是神所喜悦的；你们如此事奉，乃是理所当然的。【Rom12:1】Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God--this is your spiritual act of worship.

因神的拣选和怜悯，救恩临到我们。保罗没有命令，而是以神的慈悲劝我们，献上自己，不是出于勉强，不是因惧怕，而是对神的怜悯的自然回应。Salvation comes to us because of God's selection and mercy. Paul did not command us, but urged us with God's mercy to offer ourselves, not out of reluctance, not out of fear, but as a natural response to God's mercy.当我们真的看到自己的罪归到耶稣身上，祂舍命流血，付上重价，使我们重新活过来，因这浩大的恩典，岂不甘心把自己全然献上？When we truly see that our sins were placed on Jesus, who gave His life and shed His blood, paid a heavy price, and brought us back to life, wouldn't we be willing to offer ourselves completely because of this great grace?

旧约需要杀牛杀羊献上死的祭物，新约里耶稣献上自己的生命成为一次永久的赎罪祭。祭，意味着牺牲。In the Old Testament, sacrifices were required, such as the slaughter of cattle and sheep. In the New Testament, Jesus offered His life as a permanent sin offering. Sacrifice means sacrifice.将身体献上，当作活祭，不只是在被圣灵感动时，献上自己；更是在日常琐碎生活中，持续地，无数次“向己死，向神活”的行动。“我”死了，基督在里面活，才能成为圣洁，讨神喜悦。Offering one's body as a living sacrifice is not just about offering oneself when moved by the Holy Spirit; it is also about the continuous, countless actions of "dying to self and living to God" in the daily, trivial moments of life. Only when "I" die and Christ lives in me can I become holy and please God.

主啊，我曾感动流泪，甘心献上自己，要为你而活。然而生活中，你兴起考试，让我钉死旧人时，我怕苦，怕痛，选择了逃避。Lord, I was moved to tears and willing to give myself to live for You. However, in life, when You gave me a test and asked me to crucify my old self, I was afraid of suffering and pain and chose to escape.耶稣你没有逃避，你祷告到汗如血滴，顺服至死，为我走上十字架，成就了救恩。主，求你赦免我，爱了自己的私欲，爱了自己的罪，你却不放弃我。Jesus, You did not escape. You prayed until You sweated like blood, obeyed to death, went to the cross for me, and accomplished salvation. Lord, please forgive me for loving my own desires and my own sins, but You did not give up on me.

主，是你的慈爱和怜悯，使我可以回转，你配得我献上一切所有，这是理所当然的！主啊，你是我的主，Lord, it is Your love and mercy that enable me to turn back. You are worthy of my giving all I have. This is only natural! Lord, You are my Lord;我属于你，求主掌管我心，在生活中殷勤呼求圣灵，识别并治死内心的诡诈、贪婪、骄傲、悖逆…使我以受苦的心志为兵器，与主同死同复活，成为活着的祭物，荣耀耶稣的名！I belong to You. Please control my heart, call on the Holy Spirit diligently in life, identify and put to death the deceit, greed, pride, and rebellion in my heart... Let me use the spirit of suffering as a weapon, die and resurrect with the Lord, become a living sacrifice, and glorify the name of Jesus!（付传道Pastor Fu）
