Romans Chapter 12 Discussion Page 5

Let your body be Holy and acceptable with God for He is Holy. Abba Father wash me by your blood and cleanse my heart and my soul and help me to be born again every moment of my life.You are my strength and my life thank you Jesus for being with me all the time I love you and will praise you forever Jehova Jireh the Lord my Provider thank you for blessing me and all my blessing that are yet to com

With this, I will try to give more and ask less. Not just of worldly goods, but of myself

ROMANS 12:21
Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
(This is so true for everyone)

Verse 19~God has not given us the right to avenge ourselves. We must leave vengeance in the hands of Jehovah God.

An enemy to the Apostle Paul was an “enemy” of the cross of Christ! Those are God’s enemies, too!

This chapter really reminds us of what a true Christian should be doing. It gives me positive motivation to continue to strive to be perfect.

We should always choose to bless as oppose to curse. Forgive as oppose to harbor hate.

"And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." The Apostle says it so clearly and precisely what is commanded us, and what therefore God expects, from all who call upon the Name of Jesus Christ. There is no apology for the flesh or an undisciplined spirit and there is no talking down to us as if we were uncapable of intelligent thought. Jesus NEVER talked down to anyone, no matter how much WE might think that they couldn't understand. Jesus told a woman who had already five husbands, and was presently with a man not married, about what knowing God really was, without talking down to her or trying to simplify the truth. "But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." Speak the truth as the Spirit directs and NEVER talk down to people. God knows how to cause His Word to have effect on a man's heart!

Feed our enemies even though we know who they are, because the Lord will take vengeance

Verse 12~We must rejoice in the hope. This world is full of distress and depressing situations and topics. If we rejoice in the future hope of everlasting life and the blessings that Jehovah God will give, we can continue to endure and have real joy.

Verse 3: This is a good scripture to keep in mind with regards to having a balanced view of ourselves. We live in a self-obsessed time and we must guard against thinking more of ourselves than necessary.

I am encouraged with the writings of Paul because he was a rough character as I am and now I can be happy that there is hope for me too! Being a disciple isn’t easy and because I believe the Lord has picked me out for his gift of Salvation and eternal life I press on. I think we humans are harder on ourselves than we should be, yes sinful nature but God is faithful!

REJOICING IN HOPE PATIENTS IN TRIBULATIONS AND CONTINUING INSTANT IN PRAYER. PRAISE YOU LORD JESUS I WILL HIDE MYSELF IN THEE FOR YOU ARE MY ROCK AND MY SALVATION AMEN HALLELUJAH

1 We should rejoice always in Christ our hope ,regardless of our situation. 2 We who are the redeemed go through the tribulation. 3 We the chosen of God are not to faint but be in prayer always.

Not sure what to say

Verse 11: We are urged to be hard-working. We want to give God our very best and this requires hard work.

Verses 17-19 are speaking to things going on in my life right now. I thank God for his word. I want to retaliate, but the word of God says no, don t do that. I am compelled by the Holy Spirit to pray instead. Thank you God for taking care of me.

GOOD CHAPTER TO REMIND US WHO WE ARE IN CHRIST. WE HAVE A TRAMSFORM MIND BNY RENEWING IT. WE ARE ONE BODY WITH MANY GIFTS. WE ARE TO LOVE OUR BROTHER AND SISTERS IN CHRIST JESUS.WE ARE TO LIVE PEACEFULLY WITH ALL MEN IF POSSIBLE GOD IS THE ONE WHO DOES THE CORRECTING. BLESS THOSE WHP PERSECUTE YOU. GOD DOES HAVE A BETTER PLAN GRACE AND MERCY

Peter; this is such an important thing! How "natural" it is to respond with self defense when someone says or does us wrong or unfairly (real or imagined)! But we have been given light that we are not made to act like animals, but like God: and "natural" is something that we are to keep under subjection in obedience to the Spirit of God He has put within us. May the Lord's grace prevail for us!

This whole chapter provides guidelines for Christian living. Key guidelines are- Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. live peaceably with all men. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

Amen.

Romans 12:4-5 4 For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: 5 So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another. As brothers and sisters in Christ, we should all be like minded as Apostle Paul said, if one of us hurt, we all hurt. Jesus is the head of the Church Body, let's Love one another in Christ not in foolish words.

As long as you baptize in the name of the Father, in the name of the Son, in the name of the Holy Ghost, as Jesus, Himself, instructed us, by His very own words. Matthew 28-19.GBU

The Lord Jesus has His Pastors in this age of Grace. And they preach the SAME message Peter preached in Acts 2:38 - and then you follow the way to Him in the epistles the bks. after Acts .

I think that Paul is explaining to us how we as Christian are suppose to live. Verses 17 and 21 bring back memories to me as a young child, how it was " to get even" with those who mistreated me. I was raised in the church, but also as verse 2 states " and be not confirmed to this world" I was to an extent. But praise the Lord, by His love, Grace and mercy my mind has been transformed.

It is a human tendency to think highly of ourselves. But we should not base our view of ourselves on our own assessment, but on the faith given by God: "For I say, through the grace given to me, for everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith," Rom. 1:3.

I like what P.C. Parks said about V, 20

Verse 21 urges us to conquer or overcome the evil and not to let it conquer us.

Fantastic

Bless them who persecute you bless them and curse not what a strong commandment to us TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS JESUS LOVES US. It always reminds me to be HUMBLE ALWAYS AND HONOR GOD IN EVERYTHING I WILL DO. I will continue to REJOICE IN HOPE help me Lord to have more patience on tribulation. Pray for me Jesus if i won't be able to pray filled me with your holy spirit always.Thanks to your blood Lord
