Direct Answer Based on the transcript, daily self-offering means renouncing whatever competes with Christ, putting to death fleshly sin, and actively using our bodies for righteous deeds—repeatedly, not once. Christians may ignore it as a command because they treat grace as permission to stay comfortable, or assume God will “do it for us” without our obedience.

Support from Transcript:

• Bercot says this is “not a suggestion. It is a command,” and “Unlike the sacrifice of Christ, our living sacrifice is not a one-time event… We must offer up ourselves daily.”
• He defines it as “renouncing everything that is not of Him” and being “completely possessed by Him,” with the daily purpose “to please Him.”
• He gives a specific test: “If we value anything on earth more highly than Christ, then we need to lay that thing down for Christ.”
• He says it includes “putting to death the sins of our flesh,” becoming “dead to sin,” not “dead in sin.”
• He emphasizes active obedience: Paul commands believers to “abhor what is evil… cling to what is good… pursue hospitality,” etc., and “Paul does not say… God will do all these things for us.”
