This document discusses dedicating one's life to God. It notes that Romans 12:1-2 urges believers to offer their bodies as living sacrifices to God, which is their true worship. It states that when you dedicate your life to God, you should: 1) Offer your bodies, 2) as living sacrifices, 3) that are holy and pleasing to God. Dedicating your life to God results in transformation as your mind is renewed, and you will benefit from the dedication by experiencing God's goodness, pleasure, and perfect will.
4. THEREFORE, I URGE YOU, BROTHERS AND SISTERS,
IN VIEW OF GOD’S MERCY, TO OFFER YOUR
BODIES AS A LIVING SACRIFICE, HOLY AND
PLEASING TO GOD—THIS IS YOUR TRUE AND
PROPER WORSHIP. 2 DO NOT CONFORM TO THE
PATTERN OF THIS WORLD, BUT BE TRANSFORMED
BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND. THEN YOU
WILL BE ABLE TO TEST AND APPROVE WHAT GOD’S
WILL IS—HIS GOOD, PLEASING AND PERFECT WILL.
ROMANS 12:1-2

12. "No one can serve two masters.
Either you will hate the one and love
the other, or you will be devoted to
the one and despise the other. You
cannot serve both God and money.

For some very important business,

readers to offer their lives as an
offering or service to the Lord would

from it…

32. Take my life and let it be
by:Frances R. Havergal
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee.
Take my moments and my days,
Let them flow in endless praise.
Take my hands and let them move
At the impulse of your love.
Take my feet and let them be
Swift and beautiful for you
Take my voice and let me sing,
Always, only for my King.
Take my lips and let them be
Filled with messages from you.
33. Take my silver and my gold,
Not a mite would I withhold.
Take my intellect and use
Every power for you…
Take my will and make it Yours,
It shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart, it is Your own,
It shall be Your royal throne.
Take my love, my Lord, I pour
At Thy feet its treasure store.
Take myself and I will be
Ever, only, all for YOU.
