This week we will cover a passage I have semi-avoided for years, Romans 12:1. I never seemed to completely understand this verse. But Romans12:2 I could really get into, with it’s Spiritual idea of exchange – the idea of exchanging our identity Spiritually to the new creation identity we have become in Christ as the Son! Romans 12:2 presented the idea of being transformed, and not conformed to this world, by the renewing of our minds. What a verse! But verse one was not as exciting and simple to me as verse two. Then about five years ago brother Kurtis and I were talking about Romans 12:2, he shared his insight into verse 1. At that time I had never heard anyone explain verse 1 in the light of our in Christ position. He explained the High Priest would drain the blood from the sacrifice and that act removed the life from the sacrifice. Lev 17:11 says “the life of the flesh is in the blood”. Once the life (blood) is gone, the sacrifice is dead and not living. So brother Kurtis said, just as Jesus is a living sacrifice because he was raised from the dead, so are we to present our bodies as a living sacrifice because we have received Him. Now, this discussion took place long before the Father began to reveal to our fellowship in the mystery of Spiritual Sonship and our new Spiritual identity as the Spiritual Son of Father! Last week in our “walk on the pier” discussion after fellowship, we talked about this verse and this understanding again. But the Father began to reveal this verse to me in the light of the mystery of Spiritual Sonship! Our Spiritual identity is truly a mystery and an ongoing revelation of Spiritual birth and Sonship! So, let’s talk about it….
