Romans 12 - Day 330 (link to today's reading)
Scripture: Romans 12:1-2 Observation: Up to this point, Paul’s epistle to the Church in Rome explains to us who God is and what He has done. It tells us of Jesus Christ and what His death accomplished and just as importantly, it tells us about ourselves, what we were like without Christ and who we are after trusting in Christ. Having experienced God’s grace, Paul points out that Jesus doesn't demand men that we straighten out our lives before coming to Christ. Rather, "While we were still sinners Christ died on a cross for our sins.” In the remaining chapters, Paul gives us some practical applications of how we are to live. He starts with God’s will for our lives - sanctification. Application: Offer my body as a living sacrifice. How? "Be transformed” (passive verb) by the renewing of my mind. Meaning, submit to God and rely on the Holy Spirit to transform my thinking - meditating on scriptures seems to work best. Prayer: Lord Jesus, have Your way in and through me. Comments are closed.
