You’re Qualified to Serve God
There is no greater joy than to be used by God for a purpose bigger than yourself.
The purpose of life isn’t to get an education, find a job, make money, and retire before you die.
Your life is far more significant than your career.
You were made for eternal purposes. The Bible says, “Give yourselves completely to God—every part of you—for you are back from death and you want to be tools in the hands of God, to be used for his good purposes” (Romans 6:13, TLB).
The problem is, many people secretly fear that God could never use them.
Some people feel disqualified because of their past sins and mistakes.
Others feel unqualified because they don’t think they have the right education, talents, or background.
Maybe you feel one of those two ways—disqualified or unqualified.
But you only have to look at the life of the apostle Paul to know that God wants to use you in ways you can’t even imagine.
Almost no one in history has been used by God more than Paul.
He just about single-handedly spread Christianity all over the Roman Empire.
He planted churches everywhere.
He wrote about half of the New Testament.
He lived with a purpose to please God.
But do you know what Paul was doing before he became a preacher, a pastor, and a church planter?
He was an anti-Christian crusader.
He was the exact opposite of someone you’d think God could use.
Paul wrote, “You know what I was like … how I violently persecuted God’s church. I did my best to destroy it. … But even before I was born, God chose me and called me by his marvelous grace” (Galatians 1:13, 15, NLT).

Your past does not determine your future.
Your past is past! It doesn’t disqualify you from being used by God.
And the opportunities you’ve had or didn’t have don’t determine whether you’re qualified for God’s mission.
God chose you and called you, and he wants to use you today because of his marvelous grace.
c’est pour cette raison
Christianity is not an emotional experience; it is a way of life.
Christians are not meant to wallow(enjoy smth that cause plaesure) in an experience, however wonderful; they are meant to go out and live a certain kind of life that faces the world’s attacks and problems head on(sans evité)
It is common in the world of religious life to sit in church and feel a wave of feeling sweep over us (inonder).
It is a not uncommon experience, when we sit alone, to feel Christ very near.
But the Christianity which has stopped there has stopped half-way.
That emotion must be translated into action.
Christianity can never be only an experience of the inner being;
it must be a life in the market place.
When we go out into the world, we are confronted with an awesome situation.
As Paul thinks of it, both God and sin are looking for weapons to use.
God cannot work without human beings.
If he wants a word spoken, he has to get someone to speak it.
If he wants a deed done, he has to get someone to do it.
If he wants a person encouraged, he has to get someone else to do the lifting up.
It is the same with sin; everyone has to be given the first nudge in that direction.
Sin is looking for people who will by their words or example seduce others into sinning.
It is as if Paul was saying: ‘In this world, there is an eternal battle between sin and God; choose your side.’
We are faced with the tremendous alternative of making ourselves weapons in the hand of God or weapons in the hand of sin.
Les etapes de la qualification.
O resultado de saber que estamos crucificados com Cristo 6.6 e considerar-nos morto em Cristo 6.11 de levar nós a oferecer nosso corpo a Deus 12/14
o corpo do cristão não é apenas morada de Deus, mas também um instrumentos na mão de Deus.
Paulo claras duas negativas e uma positivas.
não permita que o pecado domine seu corpo “ Rom 6:12 Que le péché ne règne donc point dans votre corps mortel, et n'obéissez pas à ses convoitises.
Onde Cristo, é senhor o pode do pacado tornou-se ilegal Rom 6:7 car celui qui est mort est libre du péché.
2Co 3:17 Or, le Seigneur c'est l'Esprit; et là où est l'Esprit du Seigneur, là est la liberté.
Deus lhe deu o cartão vermelho.
Paulo não está admitindo que o pecado reinar na vida do crente.
Aliás ele nega isso.
A sequência é esta: o pecado no exerce domínio não permitir que ele reine.
O pecado é um intruso(envahisseur) e
. Ele pode usar nosso corpo como uma ponte por meio da qual nosso governar. Assim Paulo convocar a rebelar- nós contra o pecado.
O pecado é retratado aqui como um soberano que reina 6.12.
Que exige o serviço militar do seu .
Exigindo obediência 6.12 imposto em armas armas da unidade eles dão seu surdo de morte 6.23
não oferecem os membros do seu corpo ao pecado.

God’s Freedom (Give Your Life to God)
May I suggest that if you yield your life to God, he will cleanse, fill and use your life?
The third key word is yield, or present (v. 13), which obviously has to do with the will.
Because of the incomprehensible truths about his relationship to God that the believer knows with his mind and feels deeply committed to in his heart,
he is therefore able to exercise his will successfully against sin and, by God’s power, prevent its reign in his mortal body.
In this present life, sin will always be a powerful force for the Christian to reckon with.
But it is no longer master, no longer lord, and it can and must be resisted
If you give your life to God, He will give it back to you.
First: God will cleanse your life. The believer needs daily cleans
Again, if we give our lives to God, He will fill them.
Cleansing implies emptiness, and this emptiness God will always fill with Himself.
However, there is a false emptiness and a false filling.
False emptiness results when the believer has grieved the Holy Spirit and has broken fellowship.
The Psalmist says that the Lord gave the children of Israel their own way, but sent leanness into their souls (Ps. 106:15).
That emptiness the disobedient Christian often seeks to fill, even with Christian activities

Os órgãos do nosso corpo ouvidos mãos pé deve estar aos serviço de Deus e nao do pecado. A vida cristã é mais que um credo é mais que um sentimento e ação disse que religiosos nunca pode ser do fazer religioso. O cristianismo não pode ser somente uma experiência de um lugar secreto uma vida numa praça pública.
Deus 6.. Essa consagração de Deus um compromisso decisivo e deliberado. Paulo trata aqui de dois reinados.
O reinado do pecado e o reinado da Graça.
No reinado do pecado as pessoas são escravas e no livres. afundem no autor dos vício e usa seu corpo pra atender os ditais duplicados.
No reinado da Graça, elas livre, mas também chega rena. Uma vez que no estado debaixo do domínio do picado, oferecer o seu corpo servir nem os membros do seu corpo pra fazer sua vontade. corpo foi comprado por Deus e deve estar a serviço da de Deus. Os membros do nosso corpo não deve para o pecado, mas instrumentos de de realização da vontade de Deus. Não podemos dar uma parte da nossa vida a Deus e outra par ao mundo. William Buckley pra Deus é
