All Through Jesus - Part 2
All Through Jesus - Part 2
by: Pastor David Wood
Romans 12:1-2 NIV
Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God-this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is-his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Great verses today. We are told four major things here. 1 - Offer our bodies as living sacrifices. 2 - Do not conform to the pattern of the world. 3 - Transform our mind by renewing it. 4 - If you do these things, you will be able to see God’s will more clearly. Wow, that’s big.
Last week we looked into #1 - Offering our bodies as living sacrifices. Today, let’s dig into 2 & 3. Conforming and transforming.
The Bible tells us that we are not of this world. We are certainly in the world but we are to stand out as different, set apart, because we have been made new when we accepted Jesus as our Savior. This world is not our home and Philippians 3:20 states plainly that our citizenship is in heaven. That ought to show up in how we live life and be visible.
Consider if you were taken to court for being a Christian. Would you be released for lack of evidence? Hopefully the verdict would be guilty as charged.
We are filled with the Holy Spirit of God and are literally being transformed more and more into the likeness of Jesus. We renew our minds by reading God’s word and letting the Spirit of God work in us, teach us and guide us.
Carry On,
