Discuss Romans 12 Page 14

Failure is due to the neglect of fineness, and success begins with the importance of small things

Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

2 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.

In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. - 1 Thessalonians 5:18

I too have been in similar situation and I came to realize that the closer I walked with God and My Savior Jesus Christ the more adversaries I gained. Psalm 23, Deuteronomy 20:4 & 31:6, Isaiah 41:10, Matthew 5:43-48. You may find it difficult at first; however, pray for your enemies. Romans 12:14 and 12:20, Luke 6:27 & 12:14. I prayed and my enemies became my footstool. God and My Savior Jesus Christ stepped in and peace restored. I watched from the sidelines as my enemies stumbled and were caught in the traps they laid for me. Praise God and My Savior Jesus Christ forever, faithfully do I follow where Christ leads me. Praises to God and My Savior Jesus Christ the head of my life forever.

Follow Him.

Hello, it sounds like you're assuming God 'promised' he will protect you from evil 24/7 during your lifetime because you believe in Him. If so, that may not be true. In fact, the Bible says we will have many tribulations and that Satan and his evil will tempt us, but we must resist Him. God is a fair judge who and people who commit evil against us will receive judgment, but it may not happen on our arbitrary time table. Have you resisted satan, prayed for him to flee, and stayed strong in your faith in God? 1 Corinthians 10:13, James 1:12, 1 Peter 5:10, Romans 12:12

The reason he said their sin and iniquity i will remember no more. is beacuse he did away with the first (flesh) law by works to estblish the 2nd(spirit) law in your mind hearts. romans 12:2 do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of the mind gods children have stopped sinning is we have become a new creation. he came in the flesh and died and rose up in the spirit. and gods children our walking in the light and truth. we have entered into gods rest we stopped relying on our flesh dead works as something to earn eternal life we now trust in his son jesus said it is finished its already been done for us. we just live by faith faith in his son. amen

God's Will for all is revealed in His Written Word. Study, know, and obey what you know until you know more. Here's a good place to start; "Abstain from all appearance of evil." 1 Thessalonians 5:22 KJV

What Is God's Will 4 Me Today ?
-- In Every Situation

Yes we must except the Lord Jesus and believe but that alone won't save unless we turn and follow him. Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. plus verse 2 -- Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, but he that doeth the will of my Father

Hearken now, ye men, unto my Holy Father. No lie is of the truth: and no truth is of a liar. Know ye not that the wicked, full of envy as they await condemnation, shew false strength and courage as they desire to lead ye to their own eternal damnation? For they who hate Christ hate his chosen. So hate pride and learn of Christ. Confess your sins then believe the truth. Turn yourselves and live ye.

Part of walking in grace is loving others, avoiding sin Romans 12:2 not falsely assuming you have a license to sin. Satan wants people to think they don't have to live as a Christian, don't have to try. Unfortunately Christians can buy into the lie, even denounce Jesus, based on a false assumption that they're already saved and can do whatever they want. Satan wants people to ignore James 2:14-26.

Steve Currie, read Romans 12:1-2 Luke 15:3-7. Also, the will of God for you is to stay in God's word daily. God will bless you.

I am bless with that write up to wait on God who is faithful to perform His promises in our lives

The scripture teaches me to trust in God's promises, esp. when i see or hear others testify of the work of God in their lives to be faithful wait for my turn, though there may be lots of trials, temptations challenges, but with the patience in job fervent prayers in righteousness sincerity, the answer is certain.

This chapter means so much to me; it shows how to live a true Christian life, and how to stand in the service of God, and I love every aspect of it.

It is our job as Christians to be dutiful, like-minded and business focused on the Life of Christ. we know and accept that this world is wicked but we are not to be a part of the wickedness. in every darkness even the smallest light shines bright, it is our job to be as bright as we can.

Kadine - I'm sure many others here are better able to explain than I, but I will try. Said another way, pay no attention to social standings (high things). God is no respecter of persons as stated in various bible verses. Adopt a meek and humble position for yourself.

I want to understand what roman's 12 verse 16 mean mind not high things could u help me to understand

If any Man will Come after me, Let him Deny himself and Take Up his Cross Daily and Follow Me.(Verse 23) Means, Pick Up Your Cross and Follow Him, The Son of God. All True Believers Will have,Tribulation, Persecution, Trouble. We Present Our Bodies As a Living Sacrifice( Romans 12:1)You See Him:In The Bible( Hebrews 10:7) All Eyes will See Him ( Revelation 1:7) Read Revelation 20:15

Teresa: Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. ( John 14:6) In Matthew 19, the young rich man wasn't willing to give up everything to follow Jesus. Read Matthew 10:38, Romans 6:1-23, Romans 12:1,
1 Peter 4:1-11, 1 John 2:1-29, Matthew 5 (all of it) and if you doubt that mortals can live as Christ did, Philippians 4:13.

We should do everything in our ability to keep peace between ourselves and our fellow man, though sometimes that peace will not be possible on account of that other party.

Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

2 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.

Verse 2~We want to prove to ourselves what is good and acceptable to God. We don't just want to take someone else's word for it. We should make a thorough search of the Bible and see what Jehovah God wants us to do.

vs 17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.

vs 18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

Woe B me -- I have known this verse 4 yrs -- Only I have not seen followed its core message. Until very recently--!- Open--True Surrender --!!-- 2 a merciful God !! Pray 4 Me US

We want to present ourselves as a living sacrifice to Jehovah God. We should strive to live each day according to his ways and standards and we want to be as holy as we can be in imitation of God.
