💥 Romans 12

 

1 I beseech 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.

2 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.

God raised us from the dead so it is "our reasonable service".  And we "transform our thinking" by reading the Bible and conforming our thinking to fit God's view of situations.

Romans 12

9 Let love be without dissimulation. (pretense)

Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.

(evil:  works of the flesh)  

Galatians 5:19-21  Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft (superstition), hatred (extreme dislike), variance (to vary, debate, argue), emulations (to try to outdo other people), wrath (to want people to get what is coming to them), strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

(Good:  works of the Spirit)

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance:

(As we trust in God we no longer have to try to be God.)
