1Co. 12:31a; Rom.
12:1-3 Earnest Desire From a Renewed Mind 8~/3~/97
Series 23.14 ABCC
I. Review 583
q “Earnestly desire…” – to burn with zeal, strive after & exert yourself
q Spiritual & rational service of worship requires yielding our bodies for God’s purposes (v.
1; 6:11-13; 1Co.
6:19-20) – Why are believers so reluctant to be accountable to other believers?
Could it be that we have not really yielded our bodies for God’s purposes; we still want to be in control!
q Spiritual & rational service of worship requires serving God with your mind (v.
2-3)
II.
Serving God With A Renewed Mind
We normally make judgements or assessments about people based on their actions.
But I think there is a more important factor than outward conformity or appearance – that is, motive or what a person is thinking to cause their actions.
A. The natural man with natural thinking cannot please or obey God (Rom.
8:6-9; 1Co.
2:14-16)
B. Before a sinner is converted, he~/she is actually out of his mind or insane (Lk.
8:35; Rom.
1:28; Gen. 6:5; Eph.
4:17-19)
C. At conversion, a sinner is given a renewed mind (1Co.
2:15-16)
- Our wrong thinking about Christ, ourselves, the gospel, the scriptures, the church, worship… IS CHANGED!
D. After conversion, our minds must continue to be renewed - Rom. 12:2; Eph.
4:20-24; 2Pe.
1:12-13
q Renewed thinking about the will of God (v.
2c)
- It is good for God to tell me how to speak (Eph.
4:25,29), how to dress (1Tim.
2:9), to work (1Th.
3:10), to consistently gather with saints for worship (Heb.
10:25), etc

2:20-21)
Well then, my beloved brother or sister, are you thinking this way?
Has Jesus Christ renewed your mind?
Are your thoughts filled with praise & thanksgiving in all things?
Do you love God with all your heart and want to please Him? Use your mind for the Lord – whatever is true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, of good repute, if there is any excellence & if anything worthy of praise, let your mind dwell of these things!
(Phil.
4:9).
And you find today that God has opened your heart & changed your mind about Christ, yield to Him today – surrender my friend today & receive this renewed mind to serve the Lord!
