“You ask me how I know he lives: He Lives within my Heart!”
Romans 12:2
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.
[renewal = continuing]
What happens in the mind: [testing/discern = examine/consider/think about] What is the will of God.
What is Good. Acceptable (pleasing Worship). Perfect/Truth.
28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.
(Will of God is… Good.)
22 For in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, I did not speak to your fathers or command them concerning burnt offerings and sacrifices. 23 But this command I gave them: ‘Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be my people. And walk in all the way that I command you, that it may be well with you.’
“Well with You” = Good. The will of God is Good. Obedience is Good.
Thanksgiving! “For the Lord is Good!”
4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name! 5 For the Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations.
FOR the Lord is Good.
love
faithfulness [, Bruce’s reference: His F is a shield...]
all generations [in Christ]
11 In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will,
Eph
38 For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers,
5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit.
28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.
[COUNSEL [who has?]] of his will]
his will is:
20 for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.
24 but let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth. For in these things I delight, declares the Lord.”
But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?
so that, as it is written, “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.”
For in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, I did not speak to your fathers or command them concerning burnt offerings and sacrifices. But this command I gave them: ‘Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be my people. And walk in all the way that I command you, that it may be well with you.’
1 Cor. 1:
[Understands and Knows Me] Know What about God?
Practices: LOVE, JUSTICE, RIGHTEOUSNESS [in the earth].
Man’s contrast:
20 for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.
upset, outrage, offense… get us what?
but let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth. For in these things I delight, declares the Lord.”
[What is Gods will?] We think about it in relation to:
He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?
105 Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.
35 And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him. 36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” 37 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”
35 And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him. 36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” 37 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
3 For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned. 4 For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function,
9 No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God’s seed abides in him; and he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God. 10 By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother. 11 For this is the message that you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.

Romans 12
15 See that no one repays anyone evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to everyone. 16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

1 Thess 5:15-18
Do Justice. Love Kindness. Walk Humbly.
3 For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned. 4 For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, 5 so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.
Together. As a Church. The body of Christ. Partakers of HIS Good. Doers of HIS Justice. Lovers of HIS Kindness. Humble at Heart. Filled up on Gratitude. Peacemakers.
Thanksgiving Benediction:
15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. 17 And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Colossians 3:15-17
And be thankful. Word of Christ to dwell in us richly.
4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name! 5 For the Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations.
All wisdom [one another]
All praise.
All things.
Giving Thanks.
