In Romans 12:1, the apostle Paul applied the truths of what he had already written to the followers of Jesus in Rome. He said, "Present your bodies a living sacrifice." He also urged us to keep our bodies from sinning and to avoid the world’s corruption by renewing our minds (v. 2).

We are often told to give our hearts or our lives to Christ. So why did Paul call attention to our bodies?
