(Be Not Conformed to This World: but Be Ye Transformed.)
Greetings, my brothers and sisters in Christ, family, friends, and followers. Praising God our heavenly Father, this morning for allowing us, His children, to behold His beautiful creation. And for allowing us yet another day to worship and serve Him.
The Holy Spirit has placed today’s passage of Scripture on my heart to discuss with y’all today. As I have sat here for the past hour and a half or so, listening to the Old Gospel hymns. Praying and asking for divine guidance in my thoughts and writings this day. It has become ever so clear that we as God’s children disappoint our heavenly Father greatly daily. But even though We Disappoint Him, our heavenly Father continues to love us and bless us by His marvelous grace, even though we are unworthy of such love.
Romans 12:1-3 KJV
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.
3. For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.
Am I presenting my life as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto God?
Do others around me see God reflected in my daily life?
Do others around me see me conforming to the world?
Do others around me see that the renewing of my mind that has transformed me in my life, making me pure, good, perfect, and acceptable in my Savior’s sight by the will of God?
These are questions each of us, as a child of God, must ask ourselves continually. For as the called children of God, we are in this world, but we are no longer to be partakers of this world, nor are we to conform our lives to this world. We have been called to be separate from this world to be a light shining in the darkness of this wicked, sinful world. To stand out from this world so that all that we meet will see Christ living in us and not us living in the world.
It used to be that parents taught their children about God and about Jesus Christ. It used to be that schools and churches taught people to be independent and to think for themselves. But now people are taught to conform to accept that sin is normal behavior because now evil is being taught as good and good is being taught as evil in our homes, our schools, and in the so-called churches throughout the world today. No longer do they teach children from God’s word. No longer do they teach morals or Christian values. They have been replaced by self-gratification, compliance with worldly desires, and depravity.
If we, as true children of God, continue to bury our heads in the sand, as an ostrich does, in hopes that everything will work out in this life, I fully believe that. Come Judgment Day, we will have to give an account of our lack of action to our Lord and Savior, and that for failing to do what is our reasonable service before our Lord and our heavenly Father, our eternal rewards will be greatly diminished. Our salvation by the grace of God, our guarantee and assurance of eternal life, is secured by God’s grace, but our eternal rewards in God’s heavenly kingdom will be lessened.
My brothers and sisters in Christ, if our heavenly Father has called you unto salvation. Do not fail Him by conforming to the world, and failing to live your life as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto God. Do not fail to instruct your children in the ways of the Lord. Do not fail to let your light shine in the darkness of this evil, sinful world so that all that you come in contact with might know that you have been transformed made perfect and acceptable by the one true living God, and that you are His child forever secured by God’s marvelous grace washed clean by the shed blood of Jesus Christ, God’s beloved Son, who gave himself as your sacrifice for your sins, on the cross at Calvary some 2000 years ago, so that you might be reconciled once again to God our heavenly Father. So that you might live a life that is acceptable to God the Father, which is your good and reasonable service.
Let us continue in prayer dedicating several moments a day in prayer for the salvation of unbelievers, loved ones, the sick, Israel, our leaders, our troops, and our nation, which is becoming more godless every day, inspiring one another with our faith, love for our Lord, and our prayers that God’s will may be done in our lives.
The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. (James 5:16)
Even so, come, Lord Jesus. (Revelation 22:20)
Your humble servant in Christ,
Bob
