Romans 12
By Royce Frederick
The THEME of Romans is: “the just [righteous] shall live by faith” (1:17). Faith leads us to salvation in Christ, and faith keeps us serving Christ.
Romans 12 is the beautiful, powerful beginning of a section (12:1-15:13) of Paul’s letter to the Christians in Rome in which he gives instructions about how to live as a faithful servant of Christ.
An OVERVIEW of Romans 12:
The BASIS for Faithful Living (12:1-2), and
The NATURE of Faithful Living (12:3-21).
A good way to OUTLINE Romans 12:
Because of God’s mercies, we owe Him a life which is —
Sacrificial (12:1),
Transformed (12:2),
Humble (12:3-5),
Earnest (12:6-8), and
Loving (12:9-21).
For a better life of faithful service, read and meditate on Romans 12!
