In his letter to the Romans, St. Paul urgently reminds his brethren and faithful to not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may prove what is the will of God what is good and acceptable and perfect. St. Paul’s urgent appeal to his fellow brethren about presenting themselves as a living sacrifice before Jesus Christ stresses the importance of developing an intimate relationship with Christ as a pathway toward proper worship and adoration of Him.
