Romans 12:1

[Now comes the second part of the Epistle to the Romans, which deals with the practical consequences of faith in the church and society. Paul often divided his letters into a theological part followed by a more practical part on how to apply faith. The order is important; the foundation is the Christian's position in Jesus. Based on that truth, one can live a functional life as a follower of Jesus. In both Ephesians and Colossians, these parts are of equal length, while the first part with theology here in Romans is more than twice as long as the practical part.]
[Here are two key verses that describe the foundations for living a surrendered life as a Christian.]
I therefore beg you [stand earnestly by your side, encourage and admonish you because of God's grace, see Rom. 11:30–32], my brothers and sisters (brothers and sisters in faith) – by God's mercy (compassion) [plural], to present (offer) your bodies as a living (lifelong) [and] holy sacrifice that is pleasing to God. This is your spiritual (literally: reasonable, rational, sensible – Gk. logikos) [divinely inspired] service [worship, temple service, adoration]. [Surrendering and consecrating one's body to God is a logical consequence of it being a temple of God, see 1 Cor. 6:19.]
