’’That ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God." - Romans 12:1.

You are exempt from the necessity of bringing lambs and heifers to the altar; but the aim of the gospel is to lead you to do what the law could not induce men to do, consecrate your own body to the Lord, bringing it daily to the altar, and devoting it to the execution as well as the enduring of his will. You are ever ready to yield it unto death as Abraham was his son; but the angel of the Lord ever interposes and says, God has some work for this body to do; see to the doing of that and come again.

It is of course only by the consecration of the soul that that of the body can be accomplished. God’s will must be cordially embraced by the heart, before the feet or the hands or the tongue will move to execute it. So intimate is the union of soul and body that the consecration of the one involves that of the other. Let no man suppose that his heart is really given to the Lord, if the functions of his body be not employed in carrying out the revealed will of God. The Holy Ghost does not nestle in the heart, shrouded from sight. He is not living in us if he is not effluent from us. He is perpetually forth-flowing by the tongue, the eyes, the hand, the feet, the entire person. (John 7:38.)
