Romans 12:1-2
Chapter 12
A Living Sacrifice
1 I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. 2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

OPQ

The world can conform us but only Christ can transform us.

This is in reaction to the good news you have read so far in this letter. Which concisely is, the gospel is God's power to save us. It is that though, regardless of background we have failed to meet God's standard of law keeping, or sinned. Now Christ who kept it perfectly, was offered on our behalf so that our sinfulness can through His death be exchanged for His righteousness. Which is accepted by faith, and if accepted means you are no longer in condemnation but covered by His grace both now and forever, not that it gives you licence to sin. As you view yourself in this exchange, we should see ourselves dead to sin, alive to God. And through His Spirit live for Him even though the our nature make us do contrary what we want to do. And nothing will or can separate us from His love because he has chosen us, and it is Him who justifies you.
So from all this we shouldn't want to live for the world and how it wants us to think, but God and allow Him to change our views on life. That will be the sacrifice that is made, as we live in constant renewal and transformation of our minds.
Ephesians 5:15-17
Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
