Pauls counsel that leads to Salvation

In Romans 12-13, Paul gives us much advice and counsel that will help keep us on the right path and lead us to Salvation.

Here are some of the main verses that I really liked:
12:2- Be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of our mind. When we are focusing on worldly thing all of the time and putting them before Christ and his gospel, we can't have that renewing of our mind and grow spiritually. I need to work on this and keep my focus on important spiritual things.

12:9- Having sincere, unfeigned, real love for all. We must love others as ourselves. As we strive to have this and act on it, we can become more like Christ.

12:16- Think of others as equals and as equal as you. It is so easy to put others down and feel that we are better than others. Everyone is equal in God's eyes, and that is how we should be also. I believe as we forget ourselves by thinking of and serving others, we become more humble and view others as God and Christ do.

I am grateful for Paul's counsel and I know that as we focus on important spiritual things, and serve others, that we will see others as we see ourselves and we can have sincere love and concern for all.

Have a great Weekend!!!!
