“A Change Got to Come” (Romans 12:1-2)
Rev. Dr. Isaac Holt, Jr. | Royal Missionary Baptist Church

“God can’t bless you until you change. It’s because, until you change, you won’t expect much because you’ll always be in repentance and self-denial and not believe yourself to be worthy because you haven’t changed to the point that God is challenged to bless you. If you walk in such a way, the scripture says God is required to bless you. It is impossible to obey the commandments and not be blessed.” This week, Rev. Dr. Isaac Holt, Jr. preaches from Romans 12:1-2, a familiar passage underscoring the necessity of Christians having a “renewed mind” in order to live lives pleasing to God. We believe God with you that God is about to speak a word that is especially for you.
