Rom12,1 Therefore > I forget why therefore - i bought a book about Romas - will see if i get it. Specially, that every thing is God's Grace and what is the human part - Will see! GOD HELP ME TO REALLY LOOKING FORWARD! , I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy > So i should have a deeper look on God's mercy! GOD's MERCY - How can i see God's mercy? Where? Can i understand - of corse i can!, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices > The connection here i can not make - i don't get the connection! Why do i, when i see God's mercy offer my BODY as a living sacrifice? How does God's Mercy motivate me - i can't feel it!, holy and pleasing to God- this is your spiritual act of worship. > OK this makes sense. IF I CAN SEE THE MERCY OF GOD - if i can see it(don't know where and how now : God will help me to find it of corse - I depend on it - Am i saving myself again, when i think if i lok intensely, i will find it? - BUT in the truth of the matter it is not me seeking or working hard but God just being mercy full and i can just pick it up from him - without doing any extra effort) I don't understand....
BUT
Suppose i would see, find and experience God's mercy - then, i believe, the act of worship would grow in my selfe into a big desire : SO HOW TO WORSHIP THEN? : offer my body as a living sacrifice.
2 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, > This world is so rotten! Why do i still conform to the pattern of it? Because i often do not even realize it that i do. Because i am not clear on God's way. Because i am not reeding about it all the time and meditating on it permanently? Is that the reason? Ore now - what is God's Grace doing - but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. > Yes exactly: My mind needs to be renewed. How? In reeding the word of God. Meditating on it day and night. In butting it in praxis day and night. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is- his good, pleasing and perfect will. > To not conform to the pattern of the world becomes clearer and clearer - I know what to do - i drift away from the dead of the world in to the grace of God - ah i don't know if that makes sense. I drift away from the world for sure.
But many people read Bible more then i - the Pharasies for example knew it all by heart - still they killed Jesus! The word alone does not make all the different, My diligents in studying the word does not make it! I depend on God's Grace.
and
I think, the heart of Moses - this is the clue! ? I can understand Moses intention and desire. Moses saw God - so nothing else had any importants like God. - Did i see God?
3 For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you. > The measure of faith God has given me. Faith given to me makes my ranking. It is not even faith i found ore fought for - IT IS GIVEN TO ME BY GOD! I can not say i did anything for it - FAITH IS A GIFT?! not sure if that is right.
Faith is at least a the unit.
Faith is most inspiring.
If i have faith - i am a inspiration. I do not need to do a lot just be me - faithful me.
4 Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function,
5 so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. > We belong to each other!
6 We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. > To know me is also to know my gift! If a man's gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith. > If i preach more then i believe: Does not work. Where is my faith?
7 If it is serving, let him serve; > I can serve if it is teaching, let him teach;
8 if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; > I can be generous if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully. > Mercy
9 Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. > Paul becomes simple now
10 Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honour one another above yourselves.
11 Never be lacking in zeal, > WOW - NEVER BE LACKING IN ZEAL! Can i see Paul, never lacking in zeal? How he pushes him through over and over again. Like Nadal in the Wimbledon-Final. but keep your spiritual fervour, serving the Lord. 11 im Fleiß7:Eifer nicht säumig, brennend im Geist; dem Herrn dienend8:Sklave seiend
11 Lasst in eurem Eifer nicht nach, sondern lasst das Feuer des Heiligen Geistes in euch immer stärker werden10:lasst das Feuer brennen, das in eurem Geist angezündet ist. W seid brennend im Geist / durch den Geist.. Dient dem Herrn.11:AL(2) Dient der Zeit (möglicher Sinn: Nutzt die Gelegenheiten; oder: Tragt den Zeitumständen Rechnung).
12 Be joyful in hope, > Hope never fails - Suffering > Perseverance > Character > Hope patient in affliction/Wenn Nöte kommen, haltet durch., faithful in prayer./ Lasst euch durch nichts vom Gebet abbringen. > How many times i did not pray!
13 Share with God's people who are in need. > SHARE WITH THE NEEDY! Practise hospitality. > Practise
14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.
15 Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. > Feel with people!
16 Live in harmony with one another.
Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited.
17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil. > bless
Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody.
18 If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.
19 Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: It is mine to avenge; I will repay, says the Lord.
20 On the contrary:If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.
21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. > AMEN! I would like to learn it be heart - what Paul wrote here! SO AWESOME - SO GOOD!
