A Personal Blog / Digital Diary: Another response to a daily prompt

Today, I responded to the prompt AVID. I think it was a little late, but I had fun writing it. (Hopefully it was before the cut-off - I saw the post about the prompt and responded to it.)

A living sacrifice...

Romans 12:1 –
I plead with you to give your bodies to God. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice — the kind he will accept.

Living sacrifice –
"Living" means resurrected. You will say to me: "How can this be? How can that which is resurrected be offered in sacrifice?" It is possible in the mystical union with the crucified and risen Lord.

From GotQuestions.org (What does it mean to be a living sacrifice?):

We are a living sacrifice for God by not being conformed to this world. The world is defined for us in 1 John 2:15-16 as the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. All that the world has to offer can be reduced to these three things. The lust of the flesh includes everything that appeals to our appetites and involves excessive desires for food, drink, sex, and anything else that satisfies physical needs. Lust of the eyes mostly involves materialism, coveting whatever we see that we don’t have and envying those who have what we want. The pride of life is defined by any ambition for that which puffs us up and puts us on the throne of our own lives.
