Rather, he wants us to sacrifice our own selves to Him by committing to do His will in our lives. The worship God wants from us is to serve others in His name. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Thessalonians%204:3-4&version=KJV 2009-09-27T20:57:19-05:00 God's will is that we all learn to "possess"--that is, manage--our bodies in a way that is honoring to God, refraining from sexual sin and other impurity.
