I Peter 2:5 "And you are living stones that God is building into his spiritual temple...what's more, you are his holy priests. Through the mediation of Jesus Christ, you offer spiritual sacrifices that please God."
"...[W]e desire to live as consecrated persons, in whom God dwells, whose whole business is to present sacrifices unto the Lord. As the foundation [Christ], such should all the building be..." *
Romans 12:1 "I appeal to you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship."
"[Our] lifestyles [are] to reflect the very character of God, and [our] identify as his people [is] to be expressed in [our] character." *
