~ Good Morning!

Our Bible passage, today, is found in…

• Romans‬ ‭12:1-2 •

“So brothers and sisters, since God has shown us great mercy, I beg you to offer your lives as a living sacrifice to Him. Your offering must be only for God and pleasing to Him, which is the spiritual way for you to worship [Him]. (2)Do not be shaped by this world; instead be changed within by a new way of thinking. Then you will be able to decide what God wants for you; you will know what is good and pleasing to Him and what is perfect.” (NCV‬‬ – New Century Version Translation)

• THE BOTTOM LINE •

✝️ V. 12:1a = Since Father God has shown us so much mercy, and has been so incredibly good to us, we should give, and live, our entire life for Him, and serve Him faithfully.

✝️ V. 12:1b = We should live our lives for God, and Him only. This is the correct way to live, and the correct way to worship, and show appreciation to God.

✝️ V. 12:2a = Don’t conform, or live your life in an earthly manner, the way everyone else lives; instead, be changed, from the inside out, and live the way that God wants you to live.

✝️ V. 12:2b = After you have given your life to God, to serve Him — and you have a better understanding of Him, and His Word — you should be able to distinguish the way that God wants you to live, and you should know how to live your life in a way that perfectly pleases Father God.

• CONCLUSION •

‼️ Live your life in a way that completely honors the Lord ‼️
