Romans 12:1-10 1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.3 For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you. 4 For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, 5 so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. 6 We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; 7 if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; 8 if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.9 Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. 10 Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.

1. God purposefully and purposely designed you for purpose in your life.
2. Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it is thinking of yourself less.
3. We are not spiritually engaged unless our bodies are engaged.
4. Whatever the gift is, it is given for the well-being of the body.
God has poured out His mercies on you, therefore, use the gifts He has given you and pour them out on the body of Christ. With this we will shake the gates of hell. We increase the body in numbers and thus in gifts. We will live in purpose. You were purposed for purpose.
