Stuart Briscoe
Romans 12:1-8
"Therefore, I urge you, brothers…" begins the final section of this great epistle.

a. "Offer" = sacrifice, offering.
b. "Bodies" = the whole person as expressed in physical environment.
c. "Living" = life is the sphere in which spirituality is expressed.
d. "Holy" = as opposed to body as instrument of sin.
e. "Acceptable" = like Abel; unlike Cain.
2. Do not conform.
a. "This world" = as opposed to the world to come.
b. "Conform" = don't be pressed into a mold.
