Rom 12:1
From Barnes: Christianity doesn’t require a service of physical death or inactivity it asks for vigorous life in service to God
From Jamieson, Fausset, & Brown----a glorious contrast to the legal sacrifices, which, except as they were slain, were no sacrifices at all. The death of the one, 'Lamb of God, taking away the sin of the world,' has swept all dead victims from off the altar of God, to make room for the redeemed themselves, as 'living sacrifices' to Him who made "Him to be sin for us;" while every outgoing of their grateful hearts in praise, and every act prompted by the love of Christ, is itself a sacrifice to God of a sweet-smelling savour (Heb 13:15-16).

AMP: 24 And let us consider and give attentive, continuous care to watching over one another, studying how we may stir up (stimulate and incite) to love and helpful deeds and noble activities, 25 Not forsaking or neglecting to assemble together [as believers], as is the habit of some people, but admonishing (warning, urging, and encouraging) one another, and all the more faithfully as you see the day approaching. THIS VERSE is instruction FOR YOU PERSONALLY Gal 6:10 kjv As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith. What does “DO GOOD” look like? Acts 2:36-NIV "Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ." 37 When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, "Brothers, what shall we do?" 38 Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off — for all whom the Lord our God will call." 40 With many other words he warned them; and he pleaded with them, "Save yourselves from this corrupt generation." 41 Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day. 42 They devoted themselves (constantly diligent, earnest towards, attentive to) to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship (a having in common, contact, association, community) , to the breaking of bread and to prayer. 43 Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles. 44 All the believers were together and had everything in common. 45 Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. 46 Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, 47 praising God and enjoying the favor (grace, good will, loving kindness, that which affords joy, pleasure, and delight, acceptance) of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved. Prov 27:17 NIV As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. When we were born-again, we were born-again into a family
