Paul was actually talking to christians. There is the tendency that our bodies could be used to please the devil because of the corrupt world we are. There is the need for watchfullness and prayerfullness to ensure that will live the life that pleases God. A life in Christ is defferent from a life in sin. Therefore, it is very important we honor God with our bodies continously.
Romans 12:2, Be not conformed to this world but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, Stop! Then I read it again. What is that good? Then I asked myself what is that good? It's being acceptable to God? It's being in the perfect will of God. But we have to prove it by renewing our mind, and be in the world but not of the world. And if we can prove that, that is what is that good. Amen.
Timothy Wayne George on Romans 12:2 - 11 years ago
This passage is about Christian maturity. We are not to be conformed to this world, but are to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. Love not the world, or the things of this world. All that is in the world, the lust of the eye, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life. The world and its lust will pass away, but whoever does the will of the Father shall abide forever. So abide in Christ, for He is the vine, and we are the branches. We can only bear fruit as we allow the Holy Spirit to control us, and produce the fruits of the spirit: love, joy, meekness, self control, against such there is no law.
When reading this chapter, it's telling us to be humble, love one another and do good, in other words, be like Christ. Lord help me to be just like you in all my ways and thoughts.
Folks,you need to watch taking credit for what the blood of Christ does for you, his blood keeps us clean not our works ( I John 1:7-9). God satisfied himself in the blood of his son, the only thing we can do is obey his will.
after we saved Avery body have grace gift God give as lot of Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, we know it i wish to use all but GOD GIVE AS each one EFFERENT GRACE IF KNOW IT JUST PRY WE CAN BE USE ALL
God's love is to high to the extent that He argues men not to call them selves pure but just realize their mistakes and come back to God for Repair. Be blessed i Love the Lord and i need Him to Help me Understand Him the more
Romans 12:16 is some of the best advice ever given to mankind. It echoes our Lord's parable of the publican and the pharisee. The power of 12:16 has been lost on the youth and 20-30 somethings of today whose parents did not attend church or send their children to church. These people have an insufficient moral center which no amount of learned political correctness or secular humanism can correct. I fear for America as it courses along on a downward and Godless path.
What this means to me is ascertaining to live this christian life. Jesus wants my mind, body, & soul to be a living sacrifice to him. I can't do things of the world with this body. Then say I live for Christ. My sacrifice as to be holy, to be acceptable to Christ. In renewing your mind daily. Which means seeking the will & laws of Jesus. You put Christ 1st in everyting you do. Be careful not to exalt yourself, to use your gift for the building up of God's Kingdom. Let the agape love Christ showed us. Be the love you strive to show others. Return love for evil. Be on one accord with your christian family. Let Jesus fight your battles, have faith. Love those that despise you! Thank you Jesus!!!!!!!!!
presenting ourselves as living sacrifises means that we die to ourselves,desires and will and let the will of the Father prevail.we die to sin and let holyness define us.as christ denied his will b4 h was crucified saying that the will of the FATHER must b the one that takes place,we shuold do as he did
Paul is begging us humanity and all that is save, to bring our bodies as a sacrifice unto God. He says this is not an obligation of man but a duty to God, thats why the scripture says "the earth is the Lords and the fullness there of and they that dwell there in. We were created to serve God. So lets take our place and humble our selves and please God in every thing we do or say.
This actually illustrates that, my body or your body is not mine or yours at all, it was meant for the edification of the existance of God . Yes we do have our will but bottom line is we are not of our own . We sholud exalt or worship the creator by what we say or do. Every action from the body should point to Jesus the Lord and Saviour. I will always live for God for thats the sole reason I was made to exist in this universe. If we could come to our senses and consider this .We will live in a very positive environment ie no greed, no self bosting,no satanism , no anti-christ , no nonsense and no poverty.
GOD is in control.I REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLY UNDERSTAND THAT NOW.I took it 4 granted but he knows all and we will ALLLLLLLLLLLL meet him and answer 4 all we have done.I thank him for JESUS AND forgiving me..I OWE GOD........ HE OWES ME NOTHING
Our ways are not His ways, neither are our thoughts His thoughts His thoughts. Paul said I die daily. If Jesus suffered for the entire world and both was and is blameless how much more ought we to bear with one another. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood...Honestly I could quote scripture all day but the truth is that when it comes to applying these scriptures to my everyday life, it is a completely different story. Not that I am not trying daily through fasting, and praying, and reading my bible...
First as a child of God you should keep your body holy so that you can be acceptable to God.
Your body is the temple of God so you must keep it holy.
Do not waste your energies in pursuit of worldly riches and fleshly desires.
Material wealth is nothing compared to Spiritual wealth.
Dear brothers and sisters, material wealth is just but temporary, yet
Spiritual wealth lasts for eternity.
You should rather transform yourself by renewing your mind by having Faith in God , through Jesus Christ.
And reflect God’s Glory by proving what is good, and acceptable, and perfect according to the Will of God.
You should humble yourself and should not think of yourself more highly than you ought to think.
You should think soberly according to the amount of Faith given to you by God.
As we have many members in one body and all members have different functions:
So we are many and we are one body in Christ, and everyone has his/her own function.
We have different gifts according to the Grace given to us,
If you are into prophesy, you should prophesy according to the amount of Faith given to you by God.
If you are into ministry, you should concentrate on ministering.
If you are a teacher, you should concentrate on teaching.
If you exhort, you should concentrate on exhortation.
If you give, you should do it with simplicity.
If you are a ruler, you should rule with diligence and you should fear God.
If you show mercy, you should do it with cheerfulness.
When you love, you should love without dissimulation.
You should love without deceitfulness.
Abhor that which is evil, and cleave to that which is good.
Show brotherly love to one another with kind affection.
Prefer one another in honour. Regard one another with respect.
Do not be slothful in doing God’s work.
You should be zealous in spirit when serving God.
You should do God’s work with all your spirit.
You should rejoice in Hope.
You should be patient in tribulation.
You should remain constant in prayer.
You should be given to hospitality and you should give to the necessity of those who spread the Word of God.
Bless those who persecute you. Do not curse them.
Rejoice with them that rejoice.
Weep with them that weep.
Treat each other with mutual respect.
Do not mind high things. Do not concentrate on worldly pursuits and fleshly desires.
Condescend to men of low estate. Be humble, and lower yourself to men of inferior status.
This may be inferior spiritual ,moral, intellectual or material status.
Do not be wise in your own eyes and do not have an over exaggerated sense of self importance.
Do not compensate a man evil for evil.
You should be transparent and honest in your dealings with other people.
If it is possible, and if it is within your control, live peacefully with everyone.
Dearly beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather control your wrath:
for it is written, Vengeance is Mine; I will repay, says the Lord.
Therefore if your enemy is hungry, feed him.
If your enemy is thirsty, give him drink:
For in so doing you will cause a feeling of shame and guilt to swell in his head.
Do not overcome evil with evil, but rather
Overcome evil with good.
May the Grace of God come to you, through Jesus Christ, the Messiah, in abundance. Amen!
