Nonconformity to a Passing World - Dispensational (Romans 12:1-2)
"Do not conform to the pattern of this world"—dispensationalists note: this age is passing. Why conform to a system under judgment? The world's values, priorities, and patterns are temporary; God's kingdom is eternal. Offering ourselves as living sacrifices aligns us with what will last. The coming King deserves our allegiance now, not the powers that will pass away. Romans 12:1-2 is eschatological: we live by the values of the coming age, not the dying one.
