“Let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates the body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God.” 2 Corinthians 7:1 (NIV)

3 WAYS TO OFFER YOUR BODY AS AN ACT OF WORSHIP: By caring for my body.

“No one hates his own body but lovingly cares for it, just as Christ cares for his Body, which is the church.” Ephesians 5:29 (NLT)

3 WAYS TO OFFER YOUR BODY AS AN ACT OF WORSHIP: By controlling my body.

“Each of you should learn to control his own body in a way that is holy and honorable.” 1 Thessalonians 4:4 (NIV)

“I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should.” 1 Corinthians 9:27 (NLT)

“Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” Romans 12:2 (NIV)

2 nd LAW OF CHANGE: To change my life I must change my model.

“Put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; and be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.” Ephesians 4:22-24

PRINCIPLES FOR CHANGE: 3. The Principle of Evaluation: Humbly assess my current state.

“Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you.” Romans 12:3 (NIV)

3 rd LAW OF CHANGE: I can only manage what I measure.

PRINCIPLES FOR CHANGE: 4. The Principle of Cooperation: Get group support.

“Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function, so it is with Christ's body. We are all parts of his one body, and each of us has different work to do. And since we are all one body in Christ, we belong to each other, and each of us needs all the others.” Romans 12:4-5 (NLT)

4 th LAW OF CHANGE: Change requires community.

PRINCIPLES FOR CHANGE: 5. The Principle of Affirmation: Fill my life with love.

“Don't just pretend that you love others. Really love them. Hate what is evil. Stand on the side of the good. Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other.” Romans 12:9-10 (NLT)

PRINCIPLES FOR CHANGE: 6. The Principle of Motivation: Nurture my enthusiasm.

“Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.” Romans 12:11-12 (NIV)
