(1) "Knowing" our sin nature has been rendered powerless (Heb 2:14); he who is dead is free; the inability to operate (Rom 6:6-10, Rom 4:3); (2) "Reckon" -- consider it a fact and act as if dead to sin and alive to God (Rom 6:11, 1Th 4:3); (3) Present "Present yourself to God as those alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord (Rom 6:12-13, Gal 2:20);

Romans 12 and specifically Rom 12:1-2 is a pivot point between the doctrinal section and application of the book. This series methodically uses this passage to outline aspects or doctrines of the christian life -- God's provision and our prospect. Our lives can be acceptable to God if we progress on the path He intends. Living Sacrifice presents 12 doctrines: (1) redeeming time; (2) standing (positional truth); (3) self-presentation - availability; (4) approval; (5) service; (6) provision; (7) spiritual warfare; (8) conformity; (9) spiritual advance; (10) renewal; (11) divine guidance; (12) abundant life.
