Bible Note: Precisely... But I can't see how Ro 12:12 can be associated with it. I think you mean Ro 12:2. I love that passage. There is so much meaning to those few words. Imagine one who has lived a life of theft and deceit. No doubt, that individual has felt justified in such a lifestyle. "Take from the rich and give to the poor." The poor usually being "me." Now imagine God bestowing His grace on that individual. All of a sudden that person starts feeling a little remorse here and there. God has replaced his/her stony heart with one of flesh. Finally, imagine that person, through the grace of God and the faith that God bestowed on him/her, accepting Jesus Christ as his/her savior. Now, can you imagine that person continuing to justify his/her previous lifestyle? No, that person is undergoing a renewing of the mind, becoming a new person. Old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 2Co 5:17. “He/She has been born again.” I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth. Luk 15:10 NYP |
