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. 3  Do not think you are better than you are.  You must decide what you really are…

Romans 12:4-5  Each of us has a body with many parts …. we are many,  but in Christ we are all one body.  … each part belongs to all the other parts.

Romans 12:6-8  We all have different gifts… because of the grace God gave us. Use the gift God has given you!

Romans 12:9-10  Your love must be real.  … Love each other like brothers and sisters. Give each other more honor than you want for yourselves.

Romans 12:11-18  Do not be lazy… serving the Lord with all your heart. 

           Be joyful because you have hope. 

           Be patient when trouble comes,  and pray at all times.   

           Share with God’s people

           Practice hospitality.    

           Bless those who persecute you…. 

           Be happy with those who are happy, 

           be sad with those who are sad.   

           Live in peace….    

           Do not think how smart you are. 

           Try to do what everyone thinks is right.  

           Do your best to live in peace with everyone.

Romans 12:19-21       Do not let evil defeat you, but defeat evil by doing good.
