Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
Second Reading: Romans 12:1–8
The first
eleven chapters of Romans contain Paul's clear teaching that being saved comes
through faith alone along with the free gift of Christ's own righteousness
being bestowed on the repentant sinner. Now he appeals through those very
mercies of God (verse 1) for Christians to show outwardly by their personal
holiness the complete change which God has made on them inwardly. This offering
of spiritual sacrifices extends to using the differing spiritual gifts he has
given each believer to build one another up.
