1 Peter 2:4-5 To whom coming, as to a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,… 1. The offering up of our bodies and souls, and all that is in us to serve God; having neither wit, will, memory, nor anything else, but for the Lord's use. It is meet we should offer this sacrifice, for it is His by right of creation, redemption, and continual preservation. 2. The sacrifice of a contrite and broken heart. 3. Prayer and praise. 4. Alms, mercy to all in hunger, thirst, sickness, prison, especially to the household of faith. (John Rogers.)
