“Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.” Romans 12:1-2
Like Chapter 8, 12 is another Biblical Hallmark. It’s as if Paul has concluded his 11 Chapter sermon and says, “and now the Application”! First, “I urge you”. I plead, I beg, I beseech, you. If this is not Urgent, I don’t know what is! Two things, Be A Sacrifice, and, Don’t Be Conformed!!! Is this true for us today? Are you on that Altar, God’s Fire consuming that which is not like Christ? Are you being Transformed from that which is like the World into that which is like Christ?
