Romans 12:1

Romans 12:1 “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.”
Why was Pauling beseeching this church?
Why does He even care?
Why does any Pastor care about how you worship or how you relate to God.
Why does the proverbs say “ He that whens souls is wise”?
Paul didn’t say I command you brethren, by the mercies of God
But he said I beseech you. I beg of you, I plead with you. By the mercies of God.
In order to have a Christian service that is loving and enduring it must be grace.
Philemon 1: 8“Though I have all boldness in Christ to enjoin thee that which is befitting, yet for love’s sake I rather beseech.”
William R. Newell, Romans Verse-by-Verse (Grand Rapids, MI: Christian Classics Ethereal Library, n.d.), 313.When theres a plea it reveals a burden.
When theres a plea you know its coupled with love.
When theres a plea theres concern there.
Jesus pleaded with the Father at the cross.
Luke 23:34 “Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.” And they divided His garments and cast lots.”
What are the Mercies of God?
The mercies of God was revealed from chapter 1-11

1. JUSTIFICATION,—including pardon, removal of sins from us, trespasses never to be reckoned, a standing in Christ,—being made the righteousness of God in Him!

2. IDENTIFICATION—taken out of Adam by death with Christ,—dead to sin and to law, and now IN CHRIST!

3. UNDER GRACE, NOT LAW—Fruit unto God,—unto sanctification, made possible.

4. THE SPIRIT INDWELLING—“No condemnation,” freedom from law of sin; witness of Sonship and Heirship.

5. HELP IN INFIRMITY, and in any present sufferings, on our way to share Christ’s glory.

6. DIVINE ELECTION: Our final Conformity to Christ’s Image as His brethren; God’s settled Purpose,—in which, believers already glorified in God’s sight!

7. COMING GLORY—beyond any comparison with present sufferings!

8. NO SEPARATION POSSIBLE—God loved us in Christ.

9. CONFIDENCE IN GOD’S FAITHFULNESS confirmed by His revealed plans for national Israel.

1) Reckoned- counted to the charge.
In Christ
1 Cor 5:17 Therefore if any man is in Christ , He is a new creature : old things are passed away ; behold , all things become new.
4) The Spirit indwelling
The opposite of the law of sin and death is the law of The Spirit. This law overrides sin and death. Similarly, The law of gravity says what goes up must comes down. However, when you get in an airplane, there is another law at work- the law of aerodynamics. This law says that if an object moves at a certain speed, and with a certain thrust, it will be able to climb out of gravity’s pull. When an airplanes flies gravity hasn’t stopped being gravitational; it has simply stop being in control. The law of aerodynamics sets you free from the law of the pull of gravity.
The law of sin and death is always at work. But when you combine being born again and the indwelling of the Spirit couple with the receptivity of the word of God. The new law lifts you beyond the law of sin and death.
6) Mt 22:14 ““For many are called, but few are chosen.””
Many - a great degree, a large number.
The difference between the call and the chosen is my receptivity to the call.
Davids relationship with God.
I was thinking about Davids life in 2 Samuel . He was doing everything right, hes honoring Saul and hes honor Sauls son Jonathan. Taking in Mephiboseth. the list goes on and on about Davids honor. But then this horrific dead happen Bethshiba and Uriah.
Davids family would never be the same after Davids sin.
But also Jesus was never ashamed to bear Davids name afterwards as well.
God isnt ashamed of you.
Jesus had no problem quoted from David .
Relating to him despite his sin.
