Romans 12:1-2 “Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to

Romans 11:33-36 “Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of
God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out! ‘Who has known the mind of the
Lord?’

‘Or who has been his counselor?’ ‘Who has ever
given to God, that God should repay him?’ For from him and through him and to him are all

‘Or who has been his counselor?’ ‘Who has ever
given to God, that God should repay him?’ For FROM him and THROUGH him and TO
him are all things. To Him be the glory forever!”

The beginning of a life change is to really believe that these words are true
about God.
![Page 9: WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?. Romans 12:1-2 “Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022033100/56649cc95503460f9499063b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
‘Or who has been his counselor?’ ‘Who has ever
given to God, that God should repay him?’ For FROM him and THROUGH him and TO
him are all things. To Him be the glory forever!”
![Page 10: WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?. Romans 12:1-2 “Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022033100/56649cc95503460f9499063b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
When you really believe them the motivation and the wisdom to live your life for
Christ will be present.
![Page 11: WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?. Romans 12:1-2 “Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022033100/56649cc95503460f9499063b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The first thing that will make sense is for us to present our bodies to Him for salvation.
![Page 12: WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?. Romans 12:1-2 “Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022033100/56649cc95503460f9499063b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Then Paul tells us two other things that in light of these
eternal truths that are the only rational things for believers to
do for the rest of their lives:
![Page 13: WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?. Romans 12:1-2 “Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022033100/56649cc95503460f9499063b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
1) Refuse to be conformed to the thoughts of the world.
![Page 14: WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?. Romans 12:1-2 “Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022033100/56649cc95503460f9499063b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
“What will this do for me?”
![Page 15: WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?. Romans 12:1-2 “Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022033100/56649cc95503460f9499063b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
“Will this make me happy?”
![Page 16: WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?. Romans 12:1-2 “Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022033100/56649cc95503460f9499063b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
“Does this meet my needs?”
![Page 17: WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?. Romans 12:1-2 “Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022033100/56649cc95503460f9499063b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
A self-centered life is a wrecked life that wrecks others’ lives too.
![Page 18: WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?. Romans 12:1-2 “Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022033100/56649cc95503460f9499063b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
2) Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
![Page 19: WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?. Romans 12:1-2 “Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022033100/56649cc95503460f9499063b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
“Is this something that will stand the test of eternity?”
![Page 20: WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?. Romans 12:1-2 “Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022033100/56649cc95503460f9499063b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
“Is this something that will please God ?”
![Page 21: WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?. Romans 12:1-2 “Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022033100/56649cc95503460f9499063b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
“Will this be there when I leave this world?”
![Page 22: WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?. Romans 12:1-2 “Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022033100/56649cc95503460f9499063b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
A transformed mind produces a transformed will by which we
become eager and able, with the Spirit’s help, to lay aside
our own plans and to trustingly accept God’s plans,
no matter what the cost.

“The key to spiritual victory is when you quit trying to get all you can from God and start
giving all that we are and have to Him.”
