Romans 12:1-2
INTRO:
Good morning. Today we are going to continue to look at Romans 12:1-2. Just as a reminder if you hear me say anything that you do not think is according to scripture please let me know and we can look at it together. In general I will be using the New King James or the King James Version for reference. Specifically we will be looking at where Paul says we should not be conformed to this world and that we should be transformed by the renewing of our minds. Last week we looked at the word conformed and wondered what that looked like, what it meant for us.
Do you like “new things”? What about a new person? Mark Hull or Ray Mihalacki can tell you about their new grandchildren. New babies are so small, innocent and clean. All of that changes as individuals mature. Today we will talk about the power of change and the beauty of newness. If it were not for the ability for us to change we could never be what God intended us to be. We must become new again. The restoration plea.
CONCLUSION:
Have you been transformed by the renewing of your mind? Have you been born again? Have you been buried with Christ in baptism? Has the word of God so influenced you that you recognize that Jesus died for you? Have all the things God did for you brought you to a point of repentance? If you’ve been born again and you’ve gone back into the world, then you’ve fallen away, but God’s purposes have not been completely thwarted. The blood of Jesus Christ has the same power today as it did the day when you first became a child of God. It can forgive each and every sin. If you come back to Him in repentance and a change in your heart now, you’ll strive to do the things that are right and pray to Him for forgiveness. In either case the blood of Jesus Christ can make you new. Will you come and be a new person?
