It’s out of our worship that we become the agents of giving back to the Father His gift to us. In this day God has created His worshipers that are offering themselves in many different expressions of worship to Him.
One of our expressions of worship to the Lord is our dedication to serve one another in the Body of Christ.
We give ourselves as living offerings of worship to God in everything that we are.
There are many different expressions of worship that we give to the Lord in our lives.
If we dedicate ourselves to the service of one another in the body of Christ, that's a form of worship to God.What am I doing to please him? What does God want from us?How do I please God? You please God by being what He created you to be, His worshipers.The centurion had received and was practicing something that was very pleasing to God.When you look at how Paul presents this thing of spiritual service of worship, that worship takes on the form of doing something for or with your brother, instead of doing something with an invisible God.I offer myself as a living example of what God is doing in the earth.
I urge you therefore, 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.

Romans 12:10-18
Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. 11 Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. 12 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. 13 Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality.
14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. 1 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited.
17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. 18 If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.
You please God by being what He created you to be, His worshipers. God’s saying, “isn’t it reasonable for you to give Me what I created to be.”
