The Transformed Community (Romans 12)
Why difference does theology make? All the difference in the world.
Through the first 11 chapters of Romans, Paul lays out a theological framework for the church in Rome so that they would see themselves as a unified body.
Here in chapter 12, Paul takes all of that theology and theory he’s been talking about, and he gets really practical about why all of it matters.
It starts with our minds: upending the destructive patterns of the world and replacing it a pattern that builds up and encourages. A pattern that offers wholeness to our souls as we seek to conquer evil by doing good, and put our trust in God that His righteousness and justice will prevail in every aspect of our lives and in the world around us.
