Are you ready to explore Scripture like never before? Join us on the Bible Basics Podcast as we delve into the transformative first step of the Living by the Book Bible Study Method by Howard and William Hendricks: observation. Imagine yourself as a detective, meticulously dissecting every verse to uncover profound insights. This episode guides you through Romans 12:1-2, teaching you how to read and re-read passages, ask essential questions, and utilize tools like concordances to fully understand key terms such as "mercy," "bodies," and "reasonable service."
Flowing from our exploration of observation, we emphasize the importance of engaging deeply with God's Word for genuine spiritual transformation. Listen in as we encourage you to apply these techniques to Romans 12:1-2 throughout the week and share your discoveries with us. Spread the word by sharing this enriching journey with friends through Bible-Basics.org, or by supporting our YouTube channel with likes, subscriptions, and comments. We close with heartfelt wishes for God's grace and peace to be with you always, inspiring you to uncover the rich, hidden details of Scripture that can profoundly impact your spiritual journey.

KEY SCRIPTURE
Romans 2:1-2 NIV
1Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And do not be 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.
