20. A Transformed Community Romans 12:1-8 p. 1047

A Transformed Community  An amazing salvation (Rom 1-11)  The way of the Kingdom: Example of Renters  Practical implications of living in mercy & grace

1. Bodies as a Sacrifice  Literal Translation: “I appeal then, brothers [and sisters], because of the mercy of God to offer your bodies as a sacrifice, living, holy and pleasing to God, [it is] your logical/ sensible service/worship.”  Adjectives: “living”, “holy”, “pleasing” – all equal.  Important words and concepts:  “Offer” (Rom 6:13, 19)  All of ourselves without reservation

1. Bodies as a Sacrifice...  “Sacrifice”  Jesus was offered as a “sacrifice of atonement” (3:25)  Response – sacrifice ourselves to God.  Living (6:13), holy (made righteous 3:24), pleasing  “Worship”  Human sin – not worshipping God (1:21)  Only logical response: worship him.

2. Transformed not Conformed  Live in the way of the Kingdom or the World  We need renewed and transformed Minds  Body... Mind = everything  Jesus: Luke 10:27 (from Deut 6:5)  Human mind is “futile” and “darkened” (Rom 1:21)  Become “Other-centered” not “Self-centered”  Mix: Spirit Empowering and diligence, faithfulness, perseverance

3. Think of Yourself with Sober Judgment  Paul speaks with apostolic authority (1:5)  A realistic, sober, honest look at ourselves:  Give thanks for our blessings, abilities, giftings.  Admit our weaknesses, failings, sin, dependance.  NOT: “more highly than we ought”.  We are ONE body, characterized by DIVERSITY.

4. Have Different Gifts  Different people are equipped differently  For the mutual good of everyone  Representative sample of Gifts:  Prophecy: Spontaneous revelation from God (used according to our faith) Next three: Instruction – they should be USED !!!  Serving: giving material and financial assistance as needed  Teaching: Explanation & Application of Tradition. (requires study and effort)

4. Have Different Gifts...  Encouraging: Pastoral application to daily life. (Appeals to action, sacrifice, overcoming sin) Last three: Have a qualitative note -  Giving: Financial / material stewardship – GENEROUSLY  Leading: On behalf of God. Done DILIGENTLY (Lead people in the way they should go)  Mercy: caring for sick and needy - CHEERFULLY

A Transformed Community  Characterized by “other-centeredness” NOT “self-centeredness”  Two ways to live:  Way of the World: “self-care”  Way of the Kingdom: “other-care”
