~ Devote Yourself to Others ~
Series Note
~ In just the single chapter of
Romans 12 the Apostle Paul gave believers a list of 39 things which are part of
the Christian life which pleases God.
This chapter is crying out saying, “If
you name Jesus Christ as your Savior then please act like a Christian!” It is Paul’s “To Do List” for us. The key principle is that while you and I
cannot change God’s character (who He
really is) we have the clear potential to damage His reputation (what others think He is).
Scripture to Meditate On
~ “Be kindly affectionate to one another” (Romans 12:10a).
Comment
~ To be kindly affectionate to
one another one must be proactive. It
takes intentionality, resolve, and persistence.
But, it is a clear commandment to each and every Christian.
Related Passages
~ Jesus said, “A new commandment
I give to you, that you love one another; as
I have loved you [a very tall order], that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My
disciples, if you have love for one another” (John 13:34-35).
