Guidelines For Christian Living (1) Romans 12:1-3

A Christian Must Be A Living Sacrifice (1) This speaks of commitment, giving oneself to God  We belong to Him (1 Cor. 6:19-20; Rom. 14:7-8)  Instruments for His service (Rom. 6:13- 19) Self-denial is crucial ( Matt. 16:24; Lk. 14:33).

The concept of submission to the Lord has about vanished from modern religion  “Our submission to Christ is not merely mental assent; it proceeds from the mind and includes the whole of man as he presents his body as sacrifice to God”  We are to live in submission to God (Gal. 2:20)

A Christian Must Live A Transformed Life (2) Conformity (or assimilation) is almost a natural thing  Not wrong in and of itself, beneficial in certain avenues  Disastrous when it comes to morality and spirituality  We cannot let the world mold us (cf. 2 Cor. 6:17; Jn. 17:15; 1 Jn. 5:19)

To be transformed is to be changed  Contrasted to being conformed  A new creature in Christ (2 Cor. 5:17)  Requires renewed thinking (cf. 2 Cor. 10:5; Eph ; Col. 3:9-10) God’s word will instruct us how we ought to be transformed (Acts 20:32)

A Christian Must Live In Humility (3) Watch your thinking  Do not exaggerate your importance  Let God be the one who notices us (Matt. 6:4, 6, 18)

We all have different abilities (1 Peter 4:11) We all need each other (Phil. 2:3-4; Eph. 4:32) No disciple is greater than the other in the kingdom (Matt. 20:25-28)
