Sinful Reactions are When We Let Our Selfish Passions Win (15:10-16:3)

Sinful Response to God Ignores His Call and Disobeys His Commands (16:4-31)

the world, to patterns of disobedience.”

Devotion to God Trusts Him with the Results of Every Situation.

Devotion to God Allows His Will to Win Over Our Passions.

Proverbs 25:28
A man without self-control is like a city broken into and left without walls.

Devotion to God Responds to His Call Without Reservation.

Romans 12:1-2, I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
