Romans 11:33-12:2 discusses the concept of worship as both adoration and service to God. It encourages believers to offer their entire beings as living sacrifices that are holy and pleasing to God. This involves living for God, being set apart for God, and being acceptable to God. Believers are called not to conform to the world but rather to be transformed by renewing their minds, as discussed in this passage and 2 Corinthians 3:18.

In all I do, I’ll honour You.”
