DO NOT BE CONFORMED TO THE WORLD:

Romans 12:1-2

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”

1-This is a specific message to brethren (brothers and sisters in Christ; them who have set themselves apart for The Glory and Honour of The LORD). The Church of Christ.

2-The mercy of God upon mankind comes through the Blood of The LORD Jesus Christ; that was shed at the cross of calvary in Jerusalem, Israel. For through the blood of The LORD Jesus Christ, mercy is granted to mankind (individually) through Repentance (individually) for the forgiveness of their sins. A personal Repentance before The LORD The God of Heaven, through the Blood of The LORD Jesus Christ; that washes away the sins.

3-The LORD is calling upon the Church (brethren; brothers and sisters in Christ) to present their bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God.

In others words, The LORD The God of Heaven is calling upon the Church of Christ (at individual level) to live a life worthy of their calling as sons and daughters of The LORD. To pursue Righteousness, Holiness and Wisdom before The LORD. To offer a worship that is acceptable before The LORD The God of Heaven. A reasonable service before The LORD The God of Heaven.

4-The world is full of evil and wickedness. As the years go by, it is getting worse and worse for the subsequent generations. In the words, the newer generations are facing a worse situation than generations that came before them. In other words, the world is becoming more wicked; and generations are rising that reflect the wickedness of their time.

Therefore, the message of The LORD therein is: Do not conform to the world; and its wickedness, evil, immorality and all its sinful lifestyle.

5-Be Transformed by the Renewing of the mind.

In other words, The LORD is calling upon the Church of Christ (the sons and daughters of The LORD) therein, to submit themselves before The Holy Spirit for renewal, revival, refreshing, resetting and cleansing. That The LORD may create in them a new heart; by removing a heart of stone and putting upon them a heart of flesh. A Heart that is Repentant, humble, contrite (brokenness) and seeks to worship The LORD in Spirit and in Truth. A heart that seeks to serve The LORD in purity, righteousness and holiness.

It starts with Repentance and thereby a pursuance of Righteousness, Holiness and Wisdom before The LORD the God of Heaven.

6-The Church of Christ in so doing and following the ways and the requirements of The LORD espoused above, will have attained the perfect will of The LORD, and will thus be allowed entry into the Glorious Kingdom of The LORD God Almighty in Heaven.

SHALOM!!!
