Romans 12-1 "Therefore my brethren , I implore you by God's mercy to offer your very selves to him; a living sacrifice , dedicated and fit for his acceptance , the worship offered by mind and heart.Adapt yourselves no longer to the pattern of this present world , but let your minds be remade and your whole nature thus transformed." (1). You do this then what does V-2 say will happen to you ?

(2).So if we give our whole harts and souls to God ,Should we be proud and think highly of ours for doing this, and think out gifts from God better then someone who has other gifts V-3?

(3).So then how should we treat each other ? V-9

(4).So as a Christian how should we live our lives and how should we treat our brotherhood ? V-11 to 20

(5). Do you do these things ?Living our lives is not always the easy thing to do. But by living our lives as Jesus taught us we will find peace in our hearts and souls. To live for evil or with evil my make some of us think we feel happy. But in truth the pain and hurt of evil is not the happiness the evil one promised. To hurt in side , to have guile, to see the pail and hurt it causes all around us. No my friends . Turn your hearts and souls to Jesus. He is the way the truth , and the light. The only way to you to ever be truly happy.
