The apostle Paul writes to a community of Jesus’s followers in Rome. He’s just finished a powerful explanation of the good news of Jesus. Now he explains what that good news means for everyday living.

Romans 12:9-21 

Reflect

God calls us to a love that is costly, even severe. Re-read the passage and consider how many of the commands require giving up our personal desires or rights.

Respond
