Romans 12:1 – A Foundation for Gospel-Grounded Living
(Eastside Baptist/Wed PM/April 2, 2014)
Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God-- this is your true and proper worship. (Romans 12:1, NIV)
1. A Gospel Foundation
2. A Loving Plea
Therefore, although in Christ I could be bold and order you to do what you ought to do, 9 yet I prefer to appeal to you on the basis of love. It is as none other than Paul-- an old man and now also a prisoner of Christ Jesus-- 10 that I appeal to you (Phlm. 1:8-10, NIV)
3. A Living Sacrifice?
4. True Worship
Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, 29 for our "God is a consuming fire." (Heb. 12:28-29, NIV)
Main Idea: The foundation for gospel living in the church and in the world is a whole life transformed by God’s mercy that is totally devoted to God for his service and worship.
