Romans 12:1
I beseech you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God…


I. THE LEADING MOTIVE OF THE GOSPEL.

1. Not self-interest; not the reasonableness, beauty, and dignity of virtue.

2. But a grateful sense of God's many and great mercies.

II. THE SUMMARY OF CHRISTIAN DUTY. Self-dedication to God, or the consecration of ourselves to do His holy will.

(D. Thomas, D.D.)
