Romans Chapter 12 Discussion Page 6

I Praise God for a copy of His word that I have !!!! I Praise God , He called me out of darkness into His marvelous light. The light of God's word causes me to be more Christ like as I walk with Him in His word . Daily I renew my heart and mind in His word !! I am being transformed daily !!! Glory !!!! I am so Blessed to be in His kingdom !!

Thank you for expanding on that particularly last paragraph speaks clearly to me bless you

We should always learn to show love

The expression, "thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head," is a metaphor with at least two interpretations: 1st, the Christian's compassion rather than retribution will potentially cause within the "enemy" guilt, shame, and embarrassment. 2nd, The "enemy" will potentially feel mental pain for receiving compassion and mercy in response to insult, defamation, and slander--PCP.

When we are wronged we may be tempted to take matters into our own hands but verse 19 shows that God wants us to leave matters to Him so that he can right all the wrongs.

Jesus spoke to me through this verse . thank you sir this site is excellent.

Thank you Jesus!

I think Romans 12 is talking about how GOD wants us to wait for his conformation if we want to do anything.

The Bible also states "Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord God will see them through." He is the rock upon which I stand the joy and peace within me and when I am down He lifts me up!!! Who could not HOPE in The Lord?

Romans 12:18 to me symbolizes unity. It doesn't matter the situation, we should try our best to reconcile and make peace. As children of God we are called to be peacemakers.

God's words are always powerful than a sword. Obedience to Jesus words are more important to meditate than prayers for God's words will give us peace, life, happiness and life in abundance. Thanks to the blood of Jesus that shed for us. His blood are more than enough to give us life. We only need to do is to trust Jesus and allow him to make a plan and make decisions in our life for his works are just perfect and always right. Thank you Jesus and will praise and worship you forever for you are worthy to be praised. You are the only Jehovah our Provider, Lover of our Soul, Our Peace and our Righteousness. Teach us Lord to love and to wait on you. amen

God has given us all THE measure of FAITH. So therefore u have the tool GOD given faith ...are u using it ? are you applying it to your life, your children's lives,your healing, your purpose, your ministry. Without Faith it is impossible to please God. The faith He's given you must be activated. You must BELIEVE and not doubt to active FAITH. You have the FAITH. Scripture says that..but are stirring it up in your life. FAITH brings about results. If you just have the Faith the size of a grain of mustard seed.You can please God. So today ACTIVATE what God has given you...it will turn into crazy FAITH. Trust God not man.

Im living my life by the book of romans and i admit its very hard to forgive those who hurt me im tring to fill that with love. Its real challenge i have forgave one person. That was hard but as long as i know i forgave its okay, well the lord know as well. But the others i guess it just take time. Im not perfect the lord knows that as well. Im tring

Metanoia !

Romans 12v2. The Will of God. In life we find the Perfect Will and The Permissive Will of God, The Perfect Will of God is, what God wants for us when we follow his commands and give glory to his name. The Permissive Will of God, is what God allows to happen, but we must remember God always got something better for us, so in life we must always be in the Perfect Will of God.

Just and reasonable service. Not too much to ask. We all need to be following the Lord's instructions and stop leaving ot up to someone else.

It is not for man to revenge, but for God Himself. As christians, Jesus Christ must be our standard, He didn't do evil to those who crusify Him, but he asked His heavenly Father to forgive them. So, let us also pray for those who offended us and forgive them, in so doing Our heavenly father will also forgive us.

Praise him for we have an AWESOME GOD..

So true 1987! But you didn 't stumble across that scripture. .God directed you to your answer. Every question we have in this life has an answer provided to us by our Father in Heaven. BIBLE...Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth...We must always call on God for the answers. When we try to take things into our own hands we only make it worse. Congrats girlfriend on doing the right thing!! Overcome evil with good Romans 12.

love this scripture we need to pay back evil for good for we cannot be conformed to the standard of this world only God has the right to avenge for he says if we love him we shall do as he says,we need to understand that the very people we hate carry our blessings l would advise every christian to do as God says in his word so we don 't miss our blessing anyway you lose nothing by doing good Jesus did good and gained everything so if. we want all that God has for us we need to trust his word and live it

In the old testament it was an eye for an eye. When I was of the world I loved this saying. I was down with it. Now that I 'm in the Word I know that Jesus want 's us to do totally the opposite of what the world would do in any of these given situations. In the beginning doing Gods will is extremely hard. It would break my heart to be nice to a person that did 'nt deserve it. I started doing his will to show him that I loved him. There were many times that I failed and I felt so bad . I asked God to bring that situation again and I would do right by him. Believe me when I tell you the situation would come back until I passed with flying colors. Now doing Gods will is part of me I don 't have to think about it a million times before I do it. When you do Gods will you go to another level of Gods glory. Your relationship deepens. You and God are inseparable and everything about you is better. I know.

Understand and be a part in others lives.

This really saved me from doing something stupid, plotting and taking revenge, I was so bitter and twisted and prayed to God for the answer to my problem then I stumbled across this, we can 't allow other people 's actions to make us into some one we are not, he shows us exactly what to do in this situation..... Praise The Lord

David was a man after God 's own heart and all the while that Saul was cursing David and threatening to kill him : David continued to Bless Saul because he Saul was God 's anointed : Even so should I : even if that person is not of God : I am to Bless and curse not !!! I do not believe in getting even because I would be allowing myself to be in the same state of mind as they. To curse and swear. God called me to go up and be in His standard of living !!!!

I have to cry loud. everyone that say they Christians are not Christians. If you living in sin you are not a Christian not just fornicaton and adultry it sin and death not to repent of being envious. GOD said it 's not his will that any should perish but come to repentance. we have an enemy and it 's envy if you look at every time you do something out the will of GOD you will rationalize it but the bases of it is envy repent and become a Christian you claim to be

These versus are talking to us Christians in the church community to treat each other with love and respect the spiritual gifts that can only come from God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. When we love one another then and only then will the world know we are His disciples.It is one thing to receive from the church of God but real members contribute their gifts and love to the body of Christ. This is the living sacrifice we are commended by not to live as the world lives selfish profit and sucess. Amen

God loves us so much and he dont want his children to be put in the darkness. God have commanded us to fix our eyes and renew our mind to Jesus and thanks to Jesus for his precious blood that shed for us. His goodness and mercy is always following us. We must be humble ourselves to be praised. We must do good to overcome evil and offer our body as a living sacrifice. We are God 's servants and the servants do is to serve our God. But our God called us friends coz friends knows what his God can do. What a loving Holy Father to us. I trust you Lord forever Amen

I have done my church homework and I have payed a lot of attichin it was true and out of the bible

LOVE THIS CHAPTER PAUL TELLS US TO PRESENT OUR BODIES AS A LIVING SACRIFICE, WHICH GIVES US AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT A GLORIFIED BODY WILL BE LIKE, RENEW YOUR MIND BY THE POWER OF FAITH, LOVE,PEACE AND UNDERSTANDING.

I really like this chapter as it lays out in plain words HOW to live a Christian life in this sinfilled world.
