"For OF Him, and THROUGH Him, and TO Him, are ALL things: TO whom be glory for ever. Amen. I beseech you THEREFORE, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." (Romans 11:36-12:2)
Information without adoration, application and affirmation — only leads to twisted motivations, hurtful proclamations and spiritual constipation. Because there's no transformation… resulting in someone who can't be free from the waste of polluted thinking and the misused information only hurts them and those they mislead. You see information without revelation cannot produce the right kind of adoration.
There's a chain of faith… that is woven together with grace, truth, transformation and application.
Knowing/Knowledge information is given to live out in faith... as Romans 6 teaches "reckon yourself dead…"
Each of the follow superseded the other and lead into the other.
Information leads to revelation Revelation leads to adoration Adoration leads to transformation Transformation leads to application Application leads to Authentication Authentication leads to Affirmation
A living sacrifice — being transformed — to apply the word of God and affirm the perfect will of God.
The divine order has not changed... it's always been:
PERCEIVE PRAISE PRESENT PROVE
Perceive through the revelation of His truth the graciousness and goodness of God and His redeeming work, your faith in this revelation praises
