Beware of practicing your piety before others in order to be seen by them; for then you have no reward from your Father in heaven. (Matthew 6:1

Can you explain what you mean when you say living sacrifice? I'm early in Leviticus so this whole sacrifice idea is on my mind. Also, if Jesus was sacrificed for our sins, what is it that we are called to sacrifice? If He paid that debt, what is it we are called to do? Really these last two are just questions I'm grappling with right now, but if you have any thoughts I'd like to hear them.

thank you. I was in the book of James yesterday and happened (not so coincidentally) to be in the passage about faith and deeds. Your insight above was so relevant and helpful. thank you for sharing. :)
