“Can you fathom the mysteries of God?
Can you probe the limits of the Almighty?
They are higher than the heavens-what can you do?
They are deeper than the depths of the grave -what can you know?
Their measure is longer than the earth and wider than the sea.
(Job 11:7-9, NIV)

Therefore, I urge you, sisters and brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God–this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is–God’s good, pleasing and perfect will

Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, they must deny themself and take up their cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it. What good will it be for a person to gain the whole world, yet forfeits their soul? Or what can a person give in exchange for their soul?
