Our Reasonable Service, My Reasonable Response!
The Looks and Proof of a Living Sacrifice Life
Part 5
Romans 12:9-21
9
Let love be without hypocrisy.
Abhor what is evil.
Cling to what is
good.
10Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in
honor giving preference to one another; 11not lagging in diligence,
fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; 12rejoicing in hope, patient[c] in
tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer; 13distributing to the needs
of the saints, given[d] to hospitality.
14
Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.
15Rejoice with
those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.
16Be of the same
mind toward one another.
Do not set your mind on high things, but
associate with the humble.
Do not be wise in your own opinion.
17
Repay no one evil for evil.
Have regard for good things in the sight of
all men.
18 If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably
with all men.
19Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give
place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,”
says the Lord.
20Therefore
1
“If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
If he is thirsty, give him a drink;
For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.”
21
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
This morning, our series from the 12th Chapter of Romans
continues.
As a reminder, our purpose for engaging in this study is so that
after being away from a regular gathering for more than two
years, we as a church family get a picture of the kind of people
and church God says we ought to be toward Him, each other,
and our community in the official return.
Romans 12 is one of those chapters that provides a concise and
complete example of what that looks like . . . of what God wants
His church to be about as we reconvene.
So far, we have covered the first half of chapter 12 which
addressed what our reasonable service, worship of God, and
Christian conduct should look like in response to God’s
Goodness outlined in the first 11 chapters of Romans.
Plus, we
have learned about Spiritual Gifts and how important they are in
the life of the believer as well as to the Body of Christ.
Now, we turn our attention to the last half of Romans 12 which
is what I consider the PROOF of whether the first EIGHT verses
are really alive and at work in our lives as we claim to be
Christians and followers of Christ.

These last 13 verses can be rightly labeled:
• “Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is” or
• Talk is Cheap, It Takes Money to Buy Land”; or {this
sports term . .
.}
• “Put Up or Shut Up; or
• Let your life speak so loudly, that words from your
mouth are not necessary.
In that regard, I have subtitled this installment:
The Looks and Proof a Living Sacrificed Life!
What does that mean?
It has to do with connecting Paul’s earlier words to the Saints in
this chapter to “present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy,
acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service” to real
action.
Here Paul is saying in these final 13 verses, “Don’t Just Talk
About It, Be About It”.
Show proof that you have and are
presenting your bodies a living sacrifice.
Also, show evidence that you are not “conformed to this world,
but {you are} transformed by the renewing of your mind,
{so} that you {are proving daily} what is that good and
acceptable and perfect will of God.”
So, what does a life [in everyday bodily form] that is presented
alive to God as a living sacrifice look like?

What is the proof that such a life is the look that God has in
mind – that is, the look that is representative of:
• a transformed, renewed mind?
• A life worthy and responsive to His abundant mercies
demonstrated in the first 11 chapters of Romans?
• A life that is Holy, Acceptable, and Pleasing to God
Himself?
• A life that is not conformed to this world?
• A life that is surrendered and alive to God?
• A life that is proof that God’s will is good, acceptable, and
pleasing?
What does a life that is representative of the conduct and
