Re:Verse passage – Romans 12:1-2 (day two)
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. 2 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.
If we can agree that God’s will is perfect, our quest should be to discern what that will is for our lives. Inevitably we must ask the question; how can I know God’s will? Paul is clear that our sanctification is a whole person endeavor. We are to take care of our body. What we put into it, what we do with it, how we care for it; all these things matter. To know God’s will, is to order our minds toward the things of God. We are called to renew, to refresh, to give live to our way of thinking. God’s Word will always be a challenge to our way of thinking, and we must take care to let it shape and refine us into who he wants us to be, not what we think we should be. Make this a priority as you consider what God’s will for your life should be.
