The Road of Blessing: Serve with love

The book of Romans is Paul’s doctrinal dissertation for the church in Rome. The book presents God’s New Covenant plan of salvation for Jews and Gentiles. One of the book's major themes is the sanctification of those who have received salvation through Christ. Romans 12 is Paul’s description of the righteousness of God, seen in those who are submitted to his sanctification process. A woman once asked her pastor, “What does it mean to be consecrated to God?” The pastor handed her a blank sheet of paper and asked her to sign her name at the bottom. When she had done that, he said, “Now, allow God to fill in the rest.” Sanctification requires us to be the King’s servants, not because we are held captive, but because we have chosen to be held.

For sanctification: Look back at the list above and place a (+) over your strengths. Thank God for blessing you with his gifts and abilities. The rest of the list describes those areas of your life that need to be taken to the altar and purified. Allow God to use the words of Romans 12 to transform you and, as a result, your life and witness.
