In the book of Romans, the apostle Paul writes, "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" (Romans 12:1, NIV).

It involves a commitment to living a life that reflects selflessness, love, and righteousness, striving to make d...
