BIBLE STUDY TO GOD'S BELOVED: PAUL'S LETTER TO THE ROMANS The Renewing of our Minds Test: Romans 12 & 13
Theme Verse - Romans 12: 1-2 "I appeal to you therefore, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of GOD, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to GOD, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of GOD--what is good and acceptable and perfect." Overview: See how Paul draws together two theological threads of earlier chapters in Romans in order to help believers in Rome understand and experience new life in Christ's body. Paul reminds believers that not all persons have the same gifts, but all gifts are given by GOD for the well- being of all God's people. Circle Meetings
