Paul says it this way, that I appeal to you, therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. So you say, what is worship? Is it just us singing songs? It is that, but according to Paul, it's not just that. It's actually to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God.

This is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed, or the Colossians passage, the renovation that we talked about last time, the renovation, be transformed by the renewal of your mind that by testing, you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. And I love that passage that Paul says.

gives us because it really does broaden out our perspective on what worship actually is. And so this Colossians passage is just another direction that Paul's coming to the same exact bullseye in, which is what does it actually mean to worship God in the end? Well, it's directed at a person in a relationship with a person and giving him praise, which is what we sing when we sing the doxology.

It's more of a liberation. I think some people will read these passages that we're getting to and maybe see them as limiting. But that's actually got to understand them as they're written in their cultural context. They're actually very liberating.

And I think that going back to what I said in a previous podcast, too, that we have to start with who God is first and then understanding who is He first. How does God interact in his inner life? Meaning, how does God interact with Father, Son, Holy Spirit? What is that dynamic about? What is that like?

And the more that we think about that and contemplate who he is, then it does form us into the kind of people that we should be. And furthermore, how we relate to one another. And so when we talk about this, we've mentioned this word peace quite a bit in the last probably four episodes.

You're never going to have peace, or I'll say it this way, you're going to have peace to the degree that you reflect
