I love Romans 12 because there is so much that we can apply to our everyday lives.
12:1 Be a living, holy, acceptable sacrifice to God.
12:2 “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” NKJV. So much has been written and preached about this verse. Don’t agree with everything in society. Change your mind so you can change your life and live in a way that pleases God.
12:3 Don’t think you are better than you really are. Be honest with yourself about yourself.
12:4 Everyone has value and something to contribute.
12:5 We all are a part of each other.
12:6-8 Use your gifts and talents to serve God.
12:9-10 Really love people.
12:11 Work hard.
12:11 Don’t be lazy.
12:11 Serve with gladness.
12:12 Be patient in trouble.
12:12 Keep praying in times of trouble.
12:13 Help those in need.
12:14 Bless those who persecute you. Pray that God will bless them. OUCH!!! That’s REALLY hard. I have to make that a goal for myself.
12:15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.” NKJV
12:16 “Live in harmony with each other. Don’t be too proud to enjoy the company of ordinary people. And don’t think you know it all!” NLT
12:17 “Never pay back evil with more evil. Do things in such a way that everyone can see you are honorable.” NLT
12:18 “Do all that you can to live in peace with everyone.” NLT
12:19 “Dear friends, never take revenge. Leave that to the righteous anger of God. For the Scriptures say, “I will take revenge; I will pay them back,” says the Lord.” NLT
12:20 If your enemies are hungry, feed them. If they are thirsty, give them something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals of shame on their heads.” NLT
12:21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. NKJV
