Romans 12:1–2 — Romans Series, Week 19
Pastor Mel reaches the great pivot of Romans — the “therefore” of chapter 12, where Paul turns from eleven chapters of what God has done to how a changed people now live. In view of God’s mercy, Paul pleads with us to offer our bodies as a living sacrifice. Mel grounds an acceptable sacrifice in the Old Testament pattern of the first and the best, then turns to verse 2: don’t be conformed to this world but be transformed. That transformation comes by the renewal of the mind — the Spirit’s work — which runs on repentance. The payoff: a renewed mind is how you discern God’s good, pleasing, and perfect will.
