And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him. Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.

Romans 12:1-2

For everything comes from him and exists by his power and is intended for his glory. All glory to him forever! Amen.
Romans 11:36

• he book of Romans is full of deep theology. 
• Paul discusses five topics in Romans: Sin, Salvation, Sanctification, Sovereignty, and Service. 
• Paul’s letters are always doctrine followed by practical teaching. 
• The letter to the Romans is no different. 
• After teaching doctrine in chapters 1-11, Paul begins to explain how to live it out. 
• In response to all that God has done, we are to be living sacrifices. 
• And so …
• A living sacrifice does not conform. 
• A living sacrifice is transformed. 
• We have been transferred from the kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom of God’s Son. 
• Colossians 1:13
• We are transformed by having our minds renewed. 
• There is no fast fix. 
• There is no pixie dust. 
• It is day by day. 
• It is thought by thought. 
• Until we are no longer the same. 

We are living sacrifices…being transformed daily. Submit your mind daily to the Word of God.
