In these verse verses of Romans 12 I've become convinced that the Apostle Paul is setting before the Church the Christian ethic.
He sets down principles that are practical directions for how we as believers are to live. They are therefore important and worthy of our due attention. They pretty well set the stage for the conduct of God’s people as they are a part of Christ’s Church.
The Christian’s Sacrifice is really just the proper and fitting response (we might say our calling) of service that is how we should respond to the God’s Amazing Grace. We are to be and live as "living sacrifices."
In the next gift listed, LEADING, we have a reminder to those serving in church office to be faithful, but also a reminder to everyone else that we are all obliged to lead in the capacity that we are able: fathers at home, wives with their children and friends, and young people among their peers.
We will note:
