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. (Romans 12:1)
Most sacrifices in the Bible seem to be dead animals on the altar or a dead person bodily. How can someone be a living sacrifice?
