The Body We Present

A strange sacrifice God asks of us. Presenting our bodies? Consider up to this point in Romans 12:1 what Paul has told us of our bodies. Then consider the miracle of God as we present that body to him!

Finding Our Ethic

The simple words principally found in Romans 12:1 will show us the wonderful foundation for the Christian's ethic and moral practice…and our approach to our morals.

Paul's Doxology in Romans

Paul is brought to this exclamation of praise and adoration and wonder as he begins to see that God uses our sins teach us the value of his mercy. God knows all the details of information that can and would bear in upon your life. God wisely in keeping with his justice, holiness and love charts a way or a path to your life. To maximize the moment when you might come under the outpoured richness of His own life through mercy and grace.

All Israel Shall Be Saved

Here is the Mystery: God has a plan to bring his salvation upon all the nations, culminating in the final and full redemption of the nation of Israel. God will do this by bringing all under the conviction of their disobedience so that they will understand that a right standing before Him can only come through His mercy— it is not earned or gained by moral effort, it is only received by faith.

Spiritual Pride

Judaism is at our roots. It is the ladder by which we are brought up into the promise of Jesus Christ. Don't neglect your Old Testament. Don't look down upon the Israel of God. Don't think you can stand in your Christianity apart from the undergirding and the promises God gave and will keep to all of Israel. The Gentile believers Paul was writing to could not trace the faithfulness of God through their own fathers who were pagans. And so, they may have felt as if they stood out as singly the people who have been birthed by God. Paul tells them, you are here because of God's faithfulness to the Jewish fathers and his promises to them. Don't boast over them be humble.
