Devot. Reasonable Service

Hi Folks,

 

I hope you had a good week! 

 

The devot. for today is on our current topic of serving the Lord.

 

This devot.'s passage is from Romans 12:1-2, "I beseech (beg)you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God,  that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.  And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove  what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."

 

When we have received Jesus as Savior, are lives are not longer our own to do with us we please or live however we feel like.

 

1 Corinthians 6:19-20, "What? know ye not (Don't you know?) that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you,  which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?  For ye are bought with a price: (Christ's death) therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's."  

 

Wen we have trusted Jesus, we become God's dwelling place.   He bought our lives from the penalty of sin and hell with His own.  Jesus died for us so ,the very least we can do is live for and please Him with our lives. 

 

The sermon link below is the one I included on Tuesday, in case you haven't watched it yet.  It's only about 20 minutes, but it's practical and goes into more explanation of what living for the Lord looks like.  I hope you will watch it through your weekend.

 

Lord bless you and yours this weekend!
