Text: Romans 12:1~2
Title: change
The Christian Advantage!
Great love must restore first love, first faith.
Evangelism is difficult, and passion is cooling.
The Christian church crisis is that change has stopped.
It loses its essence and dislikes change.
Spiritually, the essence of the church's faith is transformation.
Then how?
First: Spiritual Worship
verse 1]
1]Therefore, brethren, I beseech you of all the mercy of God,
Offer it as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God, which is your spiritual worship.
The body is the worship of life.
This is because worship without life is carnal worship.
Matthew 23:23]
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
They pay tites, but have forsaken the weightier matters of the law: justice, mercy, and faith.
But you must do this and not forsake that.
It means that we have to give not only material things but also life.
what a life!!
Ephesians 4:15]
But speaking the truth in love, you may grow up into him in all things.
He is the head, the Christ.
The true thing⇒ It is the act of giving the true thing, a life of true love.
Luke 6:36]
Be merciful as your Father is merciful.
It means kindness and mercy ⇒ broad love.
It is the love of a father that covers even the many faults.
Without a father's love, communication and communication are not possible.
Second: Spiritual Transformation
verse 2]
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
Let us discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God.
The heart is a person's thoughts,
Meaning ⇒ God's thoughts,
Isaiah 55:8-9]
8] For my thoughts are not your thoughts, and my ways are not your ways.
saith the LORD.
9] For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways.
My thoughts are higher than your thoughts.
The difference between God's thoughts and man's thoughts is because there are different dimensions.
If you change, the gap will close and your thoughts will become the same.
Change must come only from above.
The work of the Holy Spirit is the work of God.
So that God can transform me into a man of the Holy Spirit
I must align my heart with God.
You have to renew your mind and change your thinking (innovation).
The reason for giving failure to my life that has not been changed spiritually!!
