A Simple Life (Romans 12:1) - Part 1
Dr. Roberto Miranda
SUMMARY: The speaker discusses the importance of preaching "horizontal sermons," which focus on the ethical and moral dimensions of daily life rather than just spiritual concepts. He emphasizes the importance of values such as honesty, hard work, discipline, and persistence in achieving success in life. The passage from Romans 12 is used as an example of practical advice for the Christian life, including loving one another, rejoicing with others, and hating what is bad. The speaker calls on young people and couples to commit themselves to these values and to transform their thinking to align with God's will. He promises that by putting God first and living according to these values, one will see the blessing of God in their life.
The Bible says that God is looking for those with a perfect heart towards him and will show himself faithful in their favor. We need to change our mind and values and put them into practice every day. Test the Lord and see great things in your life. Thank God for his word and dare to believe and put it to the test like Daniel did. You will see transformative changes in your life.

Romans 12, beginning with verse 1: ".... So, brothers, I beg you by the mercy of God to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy, pleasing to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not conform to this century, but transform yourselves through the renewal of your understanding so that you can verify what is the good will of God, acceptable and perfect.
I say then by the grace that is given to me, to each who is among you, who does not have a higher opinion of himself than he should have, but who thinks of himself with sanity according to the measure of faith that God distributed to each one, because in the way that in one body we have many members, but not all the members have the same function, so we, being many, are one body in Christ and all members one of another, so that, having different gifts according to the grace that is given to us, if it is of prophecy, use according to the measure of faith; or if of service, in serve or the one who teaches in teaching; he who exhorts, in exhortation; the one who distributes, with liberality; the one who presides, with request; he who shows mercy, with joy.
