GOD SAYS: THE BEST LIFE POSSIBLE IS LIVING IN SPIRIT POWERED CONSECRATION. The New Testament book of Romans contains the most complete description, of the most important event of all human history: Christ’s work on the Cross. In Romans 12 we find the response God expects from us as we begin to understand what salvation is all about.
Basically, Romans 12:1-2 breaks into four clear elements describing the consecration God is asking for from everyone saved by Christ’s gracious sacrifice. If you have been saved by grace, through faith: these two verses are for you.
This is what Paul says:
1. Consecrationās Foundation: Godās Mercy to Me (v. 1a)
Romans 12:1a (NKJV) I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God,
2. Consecrationās Description: My Body Offered (v. 1b)
Romans 12:1b (NKJV) that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.
3. Consecrationās Expectation: My Mind Transformed (v. 2a)
Romans 12:2a (NKJV) And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind,
4. Consecrationās Reward: Godās Will Is Known (V. 2B)
Romans 12:2b (NKJV) that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
So here we go. Please stand with me and read with me from your copy of God’s Word Romans 12:1-2.
