Living Sacrifice 06

We like Israel have the provisions but need to take advantage of them (1Co 10:1-5, 1Co 10:14-17). During communion we eat and drink blessing or cursing. There's always a remnant of believers (Rom 11:5). There must be a sense of destiny, a sense of urgency, and tenacity or endurance. Paul always wanted to go to Rome, but he went as a prisoner (Phi 1:12). In Rom 12:1 the word "brethren" indicates the potential for unique standing in eternity. Membership in a royal family has distinction as does spiritual heritage (Gal 3:9). Paul appeals to our standing -- what we are should effect our action (Rom 5:1-2, John 3:36). The baptism of the Spirit puts us into union with Christ and makes us brethren (1Pe 3:18, 1Co 12:13-15). In the race to be at the top, Paul had been more zealous than Jewish peers. God thinks of it as crap (Phi 3:8, Isa 64:6).
