Discuss Romans 12 Page 14

Peter; this is such an important thing! How "natural" it is to respond with self defense when someone says or does us wrong or unfairly (real or imagined)! But we have been given light that we are not made to act like animals, but like God: and "natural" is something that we are to keep under subjection in obedience to the Spirit of God He has put within us. May the Lord's grace prevail for us!

This whole chapter provides guidelines for Christian living. Key guidelines are- Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. live peaceably with all men. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

Amen.

Romans 12:4-5 4 For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: 5 So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another. As brothers and sisters in Christ, we should all be like minded as Apostle Paul said, if one of us hurt, we all hurt. Jesus is the head of the Church Body, let's Love one another in Christ not in foolish words.

Romans 12:12 12 Rejoicing in hope patient in tribulation continuing instant in prayer All saved born again child of God have tribulation in there life, but there is going to be a 7 year tribulation that Daniel speaks about. Daniel 9:24-27 Jacobs trouble. We are not in it, the Rapture will come before Jacobs trouble. Then comes the second coming of Jesus Christ. Zechariah 14:2-4

As long as you baptize in the name of the Father, in the name of the Son, in the name of the Holy Ghost, as Jesus, Himself, instructed us, by His very own words. Matthew 28-19.GBU

The Lord Jesus has His Pastors in this age of Grace. And they preach the SAME message Peter preached in Acts 2:38 - and then you follow the way to Him in the epistles the bks. after Acts .

I think that Paul is explaining to us how we as Christian are suppose to live. Verses 17 and 21 bring back memories to me as a young child, how it was " to get even" with those who mistreated me. I was raised in the church, but also as verse 2 states " and be not confirmed to this world" I was to an extent. But praise the Lord, by His love, Grace and mercy my mind has been transformed.

It is a human tendency to think highly of ourselves. But we should not base our view of ourselves on our own assessment, but on the faith given by God: "For I say, through the grace given to me, for everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith," Rom. 1:3.

I like what P.C. Parks said about V, 20

Verse 21 urges us to conquer or overcome the evil and not to let it conquer us.

Goodbye Roman Catholic Church what a wonderful chapter giving the believer the wonderful hope of knowing this wicked abomination to this earth the Roman Catholic Church and wicked pope destroyed by Almighty God as our Lord says In Romans 12:19 Vengeance is mine I will repay saith the Lord. Praise God ! Come out of Rome people don't play with the Harlot People Jesus wants to save you from her!

Fantastic

Bless them who persecute you bless them and curse not what a strong commandment to us TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS JESUS LOVES US. It always reminds me to be HUMBLE ALWAYS AND HONOR GOD IN EVERYTHING I WILL DO. I will continue to REJOICE IN HOPE help me Lord to have more patience on tribulation. Pray for me Jesus if i won't be able to pray filled me with your holy spirit always.Thanks to your blood Lord

I Praise God for a copy of His word that I have !!!! I Praise God , He called me out of darkness into His marvelous light. The light of God's word causes me to be more Christ like as I walk with Him in His word . Daily I renew my heart and mind in His word !! I am being transformed daily !!! Glory !!!! I am so Blessed to be in His kingdom !!

Thank you for expanding on that particularly last paragraph speaks clearly to me bless you

We should always learn to show love

Once we learn on how to forgive others it becomes easy and very clear that this is how we are suppose to live forgive others for whatever they do to you. Never pay evil with evil ' Romans 12:21-BUT OVERCOME EVIL WITH GOOD.No matter how hard it may seem you got to be very patient with everybody and everything let GOD lead your path seek him always forgive is the key believe in him and remember Romans 12:19-Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord. It is all written God bless you.

The expression, "thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head," is a metaphor with at least two interpretations: 1st, the Christian's compassion rather than retribution will potentially cause within the "enemy" guilt, shame, and embarrassment. 2nd, The "enemy" will potentially feel mental pain for receiving compassion and mercy in response to insult, defamation, and slander--PCP.

I would like to share a couple of tips on this subject that can help those and well as this helps me everytime. I know it's hard at times to draw away all these unwanted thoughts but I found ways to avoid acting on these unwanted thoughts, always put your mind focus on the things of GOD by surrounding yourself with good Christian songs, and choose your favorite verse from the bible and say them when these thoughts come to mind. talk to GOD in prayer instead and ask him to draw them away as a.s.a.p. and last very important read your bible ask Jesus for understanding if you do not understand for he is are instructor. Here are a couple of Verses that will help you to avoid into any unwanted temptation. Philippians 4:6-8 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 Colossians 3:5 Romans 12:2. May GOD bless you. my favorite verse 1 John 4:4

When we are wronged we may be tempted to take matters into our own hands but verse 19 shows that God wants us to leave matters to Him so that he can right all the wrongs.

Jesus spoke to me through this verse . thank you sir this site is excellent.

Thank you Jesus!

I think Romans 12 is talking about how GOD wants us to wait for his conformation if we want to do anything.

The Bible also states "Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord God will see them through." He is the rock upon which I stand the joy and peace within me and when I am down He lifts me up!!! Who could not HOPE in The Lord?

Romans 12:18 to me symbolizes unity. It doesn't matter the situation, we should try our best to reconcile and make peace. As children of God we are called to be peacemakers.

God's words are always powerful than a sword. Obedience to Jesus words are more important to meditate than prayers for God's words will give us peace, life, happiness and life in abundance. Thanks to the blood of Jesus that shed for us. His blood are more than enough to give us life. We only need to do is to trust Jesus and allow him to make a plan and make decisions in our life for his works are just perfect and always right. Thank you Jesus and will praise and worship you forever for you are worthy to be praised. You are the only Jehovah our Provider, Lover of our Soul, Our Peace and our Righteousness. Teach us Lord to love and to wait on you. amen

God has given us all THE measure of FAITH. So therefore u have the tool GOD given faith ...are u using it ? are you applying it to your life, your children's lives,your healing, your purpose, your ministry. Without Faith it is impossible to please God. The faith He's given you must be activated. You must BELIEVE and not doubt to active FAITH. You have the FAITH. Scripture says that..but are stirring it up in your life. FAITH brings about results. If you just have the Faith the size of a grain of mustard seed.You can please God. So today ACTIVATE what God has given you...it will turn into crazy FAITH. Trust God not man.

Being strong willed, God has been longsuffering - still have a long ways to go! Thank God that God's righteousness for us is a gift through the abundance of Grace! Romans 5:17 KJV For if by one man's offence death reigned by one much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ. God is working with us to Sanctify us and He will finish that work until the day of Jesus Christ! Philippians 1:6 KJV Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: What really helps is to take Romans 12:1-2 seriously everyday and to take on the challenge of letting the Holy Spirit, tempered with Scripture and Prayer, guide you every moment of every day. One may never reach that standard, but God knows your willingness and your heart and that is what Matters to Him most!

Im living my life by the book of romans and i admit its very hard to forgive those who hurt me im tring to fill that with love. Its real challenge i have forgave one person. That was hard but as long as i know i forgave its okay, well the lord know as well. But the others i guess it just take time. Im not perfect the lord knows that as well. Im tring
