       A sacrifice to God out of obligation would be like a Jewish sacrifice without Christ; it is a dead sacrifice. Continuing on in Romans 12. Verse 2: “Do not be conformed to this world, but 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.” This is how I’ve been talking about the fact that we desire to see a difference in a person who has come to Christ, the difference in that now the person doesn’t do things the way the world does. For myself, I’m not near as concerned with the presentation of a person here in how they look. I think what Paul is getting at is that a believer doesn’t do things the same way the world does anymore. He or she doesn’t fornicate. They don’t go get drunk somewhere on Friday and Saturday nights. They don’t cuss every five sentences. They are not frightened anymore by trials. Worry doesn’t consume their minds. They don’t follow the world’s behavior in thought, words, and deeds.
