ROMANS 12: GIVE YOUR LIVES TO GOD
Romans 12:1-3 … since God has shown us great mercy, I beg you to offer your lives as a living sacrifice to him. … which is the spiritual way for you to worship.
2 Do not be shaped by this world; (niv) but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able … and you will know what is good and pleasing to God.
3 Do not think you are better than you are. You must decide what you really are…
Romans 12:4-5…. we are many, but in Christ we are all one body.
Romans 12:6-8 We all have different gifts… Use the gift God has given you!
Romans 12:9- Your love must be real. Give each other more honor than you want for yourselves.
Romans 12:11-18 Living sacrifice is our spiritual way to worship
11 Do not be lazy… serving the Lord with all your heart.
12 Be joyful because you have hope. Be patient when trouble comes, and pray at all times.
13 Share with God’s people… Practice hospitality.
