The Living Sacrifice Language

Paul says in Romans there I've heard like a million that taken a million different directions except for a very rarely direction backwards to the Old Testament it goes right left forward up down not usually back. The living sacrifice language is that you have Christians who are part of the priesthood of all believers being called to be priests and so presenting your body as a living sacrifice is to present yourself in the flesh as someone who will perform priestly duties. Those pretty duties have everything to do with with the atonement dealing with the forgiveness of sins dealing with with worshiping god.
