Chapter 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.

_Romans 12:1._

*God is ENCOURAGING you, listen!*

AND they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; *and they that turn many to righteousness* as the stars forever and ever.

_Daniel 12:3._

Pleasures.
*Those who want to LIVE FOR THE WORLD.*

Count the cost friend, and see what God says concerning those who live *just for worldly pleasures*. Will it pay?

*1st. You MAY NOT enjoy it ANOTHER DAY*!

BOAST *not thyself of tomorrow*; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.

_Proverbs 27:1._

*2nd. You become the ENEMY OF GOD.*

YE adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world *is enmity with God*? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

_James 4:4._

*3rd. You reap WHAT YOU SOW.*

BE not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, *that shall he also reap*. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

_Galatians 6:7, 8._

*4th. God calls you A FOOL.*
