When we determine to present our bodies to God as a living sacrifice we must stop conforming to this age and start being transformed in order that we may do the will of God.
In Romans 12:1-2 we read that as believers we are to present our bodies to God. The first step in this is to stop being conformed to the age. Lot is an example of a righteous man being conformed to the age in which he lived, and it cost him dearly. The same high cost awaits any child of God who refuses to stop being conformed to the age. Let’s learn from Lot in Genesis 13:10-11, 19:1-26.

The word of God to Israel still does and will forever stand true because God’s faithfulness to Israel rest not in the physical children of Abraham after the flesh, but in the spiritual children of Abraham after the promise. God is fulfilling His promise to Abraham according to His purpose and privilege.
In order to understand God’s dealings with Israel, we must first understand how God views Israel.
The Father selected those who would be saved in eternity passed. The Son was selected by the God head to be "the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world" (John 1:29). The Holy Spirit is the One that brings it all together to forever conform each believer into the image of Christ.
The Holy Spirit is the one responsible for applying the the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ to our lives so that we are made new creatures in Christ.
Pastor Jesse Hammons shares that although Jonah was disobedient to God's command, God still used Jonah to bring about His sovereign will.
