DAILY DROP OF WATER   (Rom 12:2) “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.”   We are transformed from thinking and thus acting like the lost by putting God’s Word in us. The saved have by rebirth a living spirit that comprehends that Word, being taught by the Spirit of God in us.

(Rom 12:2) “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.”   We are to renew our mind (our way of thinking). This world has almost every moment an opportunity to influence the way we see things. It is only when we read, hear, and embrace the Words of Scripture that we can fight against it.

(Rom 12:2) “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.”  Giving one’s self in sacrifice to the Lord means becoming conformed to His image rather than that of the world: (Rom_8:29) “For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son,…”

(Rom 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.”   Is it unreasonable to ask a life for a life, if one has died for us that we live for Him? No, it is only reasonable. My own heart condemns me for the evil found there that holds back a full sacrifice of self. May God be glorified in me!

(Rom 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.”   It seems today preachers focus on God’s gifts and love towards us rather than on our lives towards Him. This is a great mistake. The Lord said to the saved: (1Pe 1:15) “But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;”

(Rom 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.”  Holiness is needed for the offering of oneself to be accepted of our pure God. Holiness means separation from that which is unclean in His sight. Are you willing to do that?

(Rom 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.”  The Lord is not, as He had to do, asking us to die in sacrifice; but to live in sacrifice of life, dying to self and living through Him.

(Rom 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.” Jesus took our place in sacrifice to God so mercy could be given to us. Therefore it is only right that we give our life in sacrifice to Him.

(Rom 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.” It should humble us to think the God of the Universe would feel a need, after revealing His great mercy (ch11), to “beseech” (beg) us.
