What to Think of Yourself

Brothers and sisters before us in the text are three things that are to instruct and guide our lives together. Three things essential for life before one another in the church. 1st You must think of yourself rightly. You must think of yourself first before you think of others. 2nd You must then accept yourself among the others God has placed you. 3rd You must then apply yourself in the grace God has given you for the benefit of others.

The Battle for the Mind

In order to live morally you have to have words, words you can think about and consider and respond to. Words that direct you to God and his will and allow you in this moral sense to think God's thoughts after him. It is in this area of words and thoughts that our enemy has set up his battle lines against us. Satan's strategic battle is for the mind. He attacks us at the command center of our thoughts before he goes after our actions. If we would live morally congruent lives to the glory of God we must learn how to win the battle for the mind. The question for us today is how how do we win this battle?

The Body We Present

A strange sacrifice God asks of us. Presenting our bodies? Consider up to this point in Romans 12:1 what Paul has told us of our bodies. Then consider the miracle of God as we present that body to him!

Finding Our Ethic

The simple words principally found in Romans 12:1 will show us the wonderful foundation for the Christian's ethic and moral practice…and our approach to our morals.

Paul's Doxology in Romans

Paul is brought to this exclamation of praise and adoration and wonder as he begins to see that God uses our sins teach us the value of his mercy. God knows all the details of information that can and would bear in upon your life. God wisely in keeping with his justice, holiness and love charts a way or a path to your life. To maximize the moment when you might come under the outpoured richness of His own life through mercy and grace.
