Scarifies and Love

Paul's letter in the Bible really an eye catching. To me, his writing is really deep and he is catching everything that Jesus is speaking to him. And his book of Romans, tells us how to live like Christians and it tell us that we are already have righteousness from God and than been sanctify. So that we are made holy before God. All that in the book of Romans.

The theme is Righteousness from God.

Anyway, today talk about being living scarifies for God because it is all worth it all. Believe me, living for everything in this world would not satisfy you in anyway. You would just keep on searching for the joy you want but will never find. Jesus Christ is answer. that why we, Christians offer yourselves to be living servants for Jesus and even a living scarifies.

Let's look into the scripture...

Romans 12

Living Sacrifices
1Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship. 2Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

3For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: 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. 4Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, 5so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. 6We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man's gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith. 7If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; 8if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully.

Love
9Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. 10Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. 11Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. 12Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. 13Share with God's people who are in need. Practice hospitality.

14Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. 15Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. 16Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited.

17Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. 18If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. 19Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord. 20On the contrary:
"If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.
In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head." 21Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.



Living scarifies would lead you to love because you choose to love Jesus Christ, so want to please Him by being a living scarifies for Him. True?


I think i said enough, i will let the scriptures sink into your heart and let it convict you. Read over it and pray about it.


God loves you
