Romans 12:1-2 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
[2] And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
The secret of holy living is surrendering to God;
By filling the mind with the Word of God.
By ordering one's life after the teachings and commands of God.
By cutting oneself off from the influences of the world.
By allowing the Spirit of God to control your mind.
By allowing Jesus to be Lord of all.
Jesus Is Lord Of All

King of kings, Lord of lords, — Jesus is Lord of all; — All my possessions and all my life, — Jesus is Lord of all.
All of my conflicts, all my thought, — Jesus is Lord of all. — His love wins the battles I could not have fought; — Jesus is Lord of all.
All of my longings, all my dreams, — Jesus is Lord of all. — All of my failures His power redeems; — Jesus is Lord of all.
