Romans:12:1-8
Seeker Overlay ON
*
I appeal to you ,
therefore ,
Achim b '
Moshiach ,
through the rachamei Hashem (
note :)
mercies of G-d (:
note ),
to present your geviyah Bereshis strkjv @
47:18 ,
all of your being as a korban chai living sacrifice ,
kadosh holy and nichoach to Hashem Bereshis strkjv @
8:21 ,
which is your spiritual avodas kodesh .
*
Stop allowing yourself to be conformed to the Olam Hazeh ,
but be transformed by your hitkhadeshut haDa '
as (
note :)
regeneration /
renewal of knowing (:
note ),
so that you may individually and corporately ascertain what is the ratzon Hashem the will of G-d ,
what is good ,
acceptable ,
and perfect .
*
For I say ,
through the chesed (
note :)
unmerited favor ,
grace (:
note )
given to me ,
to all who are among you ,
that you should avoid a false sense of superiority in your thinking ;
rather exercise shlitah atzmi self-control ,
thinking with seychel ,
as G-d has measured to each a measure of emunah .
ONE NEW HUMANITY IN THE NEW ADAM OUR MOSHIACH OF THE TECHIYAS HAMESIM :
IMPLICATIONS FOR AVODAS KODESH IN HIS ORTHODOX JUDAISM
*
For just as in one body we have many members (
note :)
natural capacities (:
note ),
and all the members do not have the same function ,
*
so we all are one body in Moshiach ,
and are individually members one of another --
*
having matanot (
note :)
gifts (:
note )
which differ in accordance to the chesed unmerited favor ,
grace given to us .
If we speak for G-d as nevi '
im prophets ,
it should be in proportion to the emunah given to us .
*
If we offer particular acts of avodas kodesh ,
it should be used in serving .
One who functions as a rabbinic moreh in teaching should be active in teaching .
*
One who imparts chizzuk (
note :)
strengthening ,
encouragement (:
note )
should be active in the avodas kodesh ministry of chizzuk .
One who makes tzedakah contributions should do so with nedivut generosity .
The one in manhigut leadership ,
with shekidah diligence .
The one in bikkur cholim visiting the sick and gemilut chasadim benevolence ,
with simcha .
