2. In Romans 12:5-8, Paul used 4 adjectives in expressing the proper serving<br />

attitude. These attitudes can also help us to be the good stewards of the<br />

various grace of God. List the 4 attitudes below:<br />

Faith Pondering<br />

In Romans 12:1,<br />

Paul used “living<br />

sacrifice” to describe<br />

offering. In<br />

the Old Testament,<br />

many offerings<br />

were dead. In the<br />

New Testament,<br />

God requires living<br />

sacrifices, which<br />

last <strong>for</strong>ever. But<br />

today, many<br />

Brothers and Sisters’<br />

offering are<br />

not firm. Although<br />

they have offered<br />

themselves once,<br />

they don’t serve God everyday. They offered themselves to God in the morning.<br />

At night, they do what they want. They offered themselves to God last month.<br />

Today, they refuse to serve God. This kind of offering is not “living sacrifices”<br />

and is not pleasing God.<br />

Besides, the revival of church depends on every Christian who obey their gifts<br />

given by God and become the good steward of the various grace of God. God<br />

doesn’t create any useless things. God must use you. We need to prepare <strong>for</strong><br />

the eternal reward: As good stewards of God, with one mind, committed to<br />

the great commandment (love God & others) and the great commission (share<br />

the gospel).<br />

Today who is willing to completely offer ourselves to God, serve Him and glorify<br />

Him <strong>for</strong> the rest of our lives?<br />

Please pray and respond to God.
