Romans: Practical Christianity

Romans 12 emphasizes practical Christianity by urging believers to be a "living sacrifice," meaning a daily, intentional surrender to God that leads to a transformed life. Paul highlights that this transformation occurs through the renewal of the mind, where believers are called not to conform to the world but to be inwardly changed by God's influence. Pastor Josh urges listeners that proximity to God is key in this process, as it helps believers discern His will, renew their perspectives, and shape their actions to reflect His love and grace.
