To live pleasing to God is to be filled with His Holy Spirit – the spring of living water welling up into eternal life.
(NASB) Romans 12:1-2 “THEREFORE I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship.
2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.”

  A living sacrifice – to live sacrificially is actually more difficult than dying as a sacrifice for a religion or a cause.
  Living water is ever renewing, keeping fresh and pure – my mind needs to be refreshed on a daily basis. 

 

Transformed lives come from transformed thinking.

 

  Living sacrificially is to agree with God and His word.
(NASB) Romans 12:1-2 “THEREFORE I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship.
2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.”
