In the sermon this past Sunday, Pastor Jasonconcluded the series on Romans in Romans 12:1-2. While this isn’t the last chapter of Romans, we were able to see Paul’s shift in chapter 12 to begin drawing life application from the theology of chapters 1-11. This last section of his letter begins with a clear call to live as “blank checks” before God out of the mercy we have received by presenting our lives as living, holy and acceptable sacrifices to God. As we engage in a lifestyle of faith and worship, our minds will be renewed so that we can know and embrace the will of God.
When it comes to your relationship with God, is your obedience driven by the joy you have in his mercy or by a fear of not being accepted? Have you truly come to the point in your faith-journey where you have willingly laid your life down on the table as a blank check before God?
