  • The Essence of the True Christian's Lifestyle

    ...As described by the Apostle Paul:  Romans 12:1-3, Amplified Bible (AMP)

    I appeal to you therefore, brethren, and beg of you in view of [all] the mercies of God, to make a decisive dedication of your bodies [presenting all your members and faculties] as a living sacrifice, holy (devoted, consecrated) and well pleasing to God, which is your reasonable (rational, intelligent) service and spiritual worship.

    Do not be conformed to this world, [fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs], but be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its new attitude], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you].

    For by the grace (unmerited favor of God) given to me I warn everyone among you not to estimate and think of himself more highly than he ought [not to have an exaggerated opinion of his own importance], but to rate his ability with sober judgment, each according to the degree of faith apportioned by God to him.

    The rest of Romans 12 will be added here over the coming weeks.

  • A good thought

  • This (verses 1&2) was one of the scripture passages I memorized so many years ago.  I have not perfectly followed the admonitions herein, but the presence of the Holy Spirit has enabled me to recall it when I needed it most.

    I guess this is from the Amplified Bible?  All of those definitions and clarifications would make memorization much more difficult for me; but I like them.   The only thing is that we should not limit ourselves to those words in parentheses but allow God to use all of His word in the work that He is doing within us.

    I like seeing quotes from the Bible on this forum.  Thanks!
