Our slate is wiped clean, there is no memories of wrongs committed, we are free from the bondage of sin, our canvas is empty to start new! Jesus has taken the judgement off our backs for the wrongs done. Do we Believe this? Then let’s start this year with hope, for a new tomorrow, both now, and for all eternity. God is still on the Throne.

Be Transformed

www.bible.com/114/rom.12.12.nkjv

The chapter starts out by say that we should be a living sacrifice to God. Our hearts should be/being transformed (metamorphosis), just like the caterpillar and butterfly. It also says we should not be conformed to this world of self centeredness, but be selfless and sacrificial to us as believers first, that they may see Hods love throu Gods love through us, ad well as demonstrate that love to those who do not know him, do that, they might know this amazing God through Jesus. May we do this not by our own strength, but through the power his holy spirit who lives in us, and guides us. AMEN!

Our bodies, given as a living sacrifice. In verse 2, it says, that we might be transformed. Just as Christ poured out his life for us, we are to give up our lives to him. It is a process, but the word transformed is from the word, metamorphosis. Think of the caterpillar transformed into the beautiful butterfly. Only God can do this in our lives, through the power of the Holy Spirit. Some believers process is faster or slower than others, but in the end, we will be transformed. Thank you, Jesus.

Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship.
