The offering of yourself to our merciful God is now explained in application. Given that this life you now live came from God, you must not think too highly of yourself apart from Him, as you seek to make your offering… which is your very self. Your Savior’s presence has uniquely equipped you to bring Him glory by serving Him as you serve others in Him. In fact, since He is in you, and you no longer live for you, you belong to others in whom He lives, and they belong to you. This reality of belonging is the wholeness of the body of Christ as all the individual parts come together, each uniquely different, serving Him as we serve one another. His mercy compels you to live Him out in loving service to others.
