Romans 12
Romans 12Therefore, I urge you brothers, in view of God's mercy to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleaseing to God- this is your spiritual act of worship.
1. Therefore- So now comes the action after all the theory.
2. From Chapters 11 and other previous chapters Paul was talking about God's mercy. What do you know if it already?
3. Action:
i) to offer your bodies as living sacrifices {that must be holy and pleasing} - have you been 'holy and pleasing' Dare we offer god anything that is not? I think more often than not, we do. But remember that what is to be offered to God must be holy and pleasing
ii) To not conform to the pattern of this world- what's this world's pattern?
iii) to be tranformed by the renewing of your mind. [ and the subaction is to test and approve God's will]
on LovE: what are the 5 points that Paul brought up? I have 5, you may have more:)
Last qn: Why does Paul say in verse 3 to not think of yourselves more highly than you ought? and why to think of yourself in judgement in accordance with the measure of faith that God has given you?
what do you think?
