Up
until now, Paul has carefully laid out his theological argument: 1) We are all under
God’s wrath, 2) we are saved by God’s grace, and 3) by faith, we can live in
confidence and peace before God thanks to his saving grace. Now, starting in Romans 12, Paul turns to Christian
Living and how we should respond to God’s saving action. He begins by urging us to present ourselves to
God as living sacrifices which means to obey God in everything. Then, he tells us to be transformed by the
renewing of our minds to become increasingly like Christ. Finally, he reminds
us that we are no longer our own, independent agents, but rather all part of
the Body of Christ with a role to play.
