Summary
True worship in the New Testament is not about external offerings or money, but about presenting your entire body to God and refusing to use it for sin. Jesus demonstrated this by committing to do God's will in His body rather than His own, and believers must similarly surrender control of their eyes, tongue, and all bodily desires to avoid becoming workers of iniquity who will be rejected by Christ despite external religious activities.
