061- SRP: DAY TWENTY FOUR Romans 12 Part II

I’m calling today Romans 12 Part II because we are really just talking about all of chapter twelve again, in light of what we talked about yesterday, which is that you can’t have chapter twelve without the eleven chapters that come before it. Chapter twelve is the beginning of the practical application section, the Paraenesis, and it’s pretty easy to read and comprehend compared to the first eleven chapters. However, if we were to just pull out chapter twelve and read it on it’s own, you know what it would look like? A checklist, and checklists don’t belong anywhere near our relationship with God or our relationships with others. The power in chapter twelve is that Paul is telling us that all of these things are the result of a transformed life.

One of my favorite Bible commentators, Warren Wiersbe, divides this chapter into three sections. Verses 1-2 are about how our relationship with God is changed when we present ourselves to God, verses 3-13 are all about our relationship with other believers, and verses 14-20 are about our relationships with our enemies.

You ARE a Bible reader.
You CAN understand God's Word.
You WILL be changed by what you learn.

And, in turn, the Word of God will change your family, your community, and your world.
