Romans 12:1, A Consecrated Life
The Apostle Paul has taken pains to delineate at length the privilege of the Christian life in God through Christ. He has painted for us richest of God’s blessings that is bestowed on the most unworthy sinners by His unfailing mercies. As the psalmist extolled, “The Lord is my shephard, I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures. He leadeth me to sill waters.” Having received so much, he is seeking from us a response. A reasonable response. Not a demanding response. But a willing response. A grateful heart, a pair of willing hands to serve, a set of feet willingly consecrated for His glory.
