November 24 & 25, 2018

 

Romans 12:1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God - this is your true and proper worship. New International Version

 

Romans 12:2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mindNew International Version

 

There’s A Bad You, A Good You, And The Other You

1 Thessalonians 5:23 Now may the God of peace make you holy in every way, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ comes again. New Living Translation

 

Romans 7:18 I know that nothing good lives in me; that is, nothing good lives in my corrupt nature. Although I have the desire to do what is right, I don’t do it.  God’s Word Translation

Romans 7:19 I don’t do the good I want to do. Instead, I do the evil that I don’t want to do. 20 Now,when I do what I don’t want to do, I am no longer the one who is doing it. Sin that lives in me is doing it. God’s Word Translation  

 

Your body wants to be: negative, grouchy, angry, mean, rebellious, self-centered,unforgiving, insecure, fearful, and practice all kinds of sinful things, etc.

 

Romans 7:21 So I’ve discovered this truth: Evil is present with me even when I want to do what God’s standards say is good. 22 I take pleasure in God’s standards in my inner beingGod’s Word Translation

 

Romans 7:23 However,I see a different standard at work throughout my body. It is at war with the standards my mind sets and tries to take me captive to sin’s standards which still exist throughout my body. God’s Word Translation

 

Your Sin Stained Spirit Man DIED When You Accepted Jesus

 

Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. New International Version

Your Spirit Man Was REBORN And Is Perfect And Sinless

2 Corinthians 5:17 This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person.The old life is gone; a new life has begun! New Living Translation

Ephesians 4:24 Put on your new nature, created to be like God -truly righteous and holy. New Living Translation

 

Your new spirit is never: negative, grouchy, angry, mean, rebellious, self-centered,unforgiving, insecure, fearful, or desires to practice sin!

Titus 2:11 For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. New International Version

Titus 2:12 It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, New International Version

Ephesians 4:22 Since, then, we do not have the excuse of ignorance, everything - and I do mean everything - connected with that old way of life has to go. It’s rotten through and through. Get rid of it! And then take on an entirely new way of life - a God fashioned life, The Message

Ephesians 4:23 all life renewed from the inside 24 and working itself into your conduct as God accurately reproduces his character in you. The Message
