'Transformed Not Conformed'

Having reached the summit of Romans in chapter 11 we are now finally beginning our descent. We saw last time that good theology leads to doxology - that is to worship. But it leads us to a much more all embracing understanding of worship than many people have. Romans 12 will set us on the path of thinking about our practical response to the incredible mercy of God shown to us in through the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Our worship continues through the practical application of these gospel truths in how we go about our everyday lives. So today at the beginning of chapter12 we will think about how the Gospel affects our relationship with God. In the coming weeks we will see how it effects our relationships with others in the church, our relationship with the state and then our relationship with our neighbours.
