Devoted

Being more like Jesus comes out of being devoted to Him. He gives me a new heart and puts his Spirit in me (Ezekiel 36:26), which changes what my heart wants. Instead of making excuses for my sinful behaviour, my desire is to present my body as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to Him (Romans 12:1).
