Romans Commentary (Page 4)
Living Peaceably With All Men
Living Peaceably with all men Romans 12:18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. The scope of Romans 12 to 15 sets itself as the single most compact set of practical regulations in the Bible for the Christian. Within fifteen minutes you can read the entirety of that which is naturally expected respecting the manner of life of the Christian; how they should live, what manner of person they should be, how…
Mind Not High Things
Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
The Empathy of Love
The Empathy of Love In the first verse of the passage of the Bible we are reading, Romans 12:9 speaks of love without dissimulation, or Love without hypocrisy, and we have seen just such an example set before us in the exhortations to “Distribute to the necessity of saints, and to Bless them that persecute you and now we see this same level of consistency to show the empathy of love, and that is to Rejoice with them that do…
Blessing Our Persecutors
It is not natural to us to Bless our Persecutors; quite to the contrary, the most natural tendency for us all is to fight fire with fire, those who treat us with spite, we return the favour in kind. Yet it is to this that we are called, this is how Love can be demonstrated without dissimulation, without hypocrisy.
This is what reveals Christ who died for us while we were yet his enemies.
The Blessedness Of Giving
It is the privilege of Christians to fully comprehend the experience of the blessedness of giving, and this only in the light of Christ.
So few people comprehend this very unique joy, and even fewer have understanding of its eternal significance.Does what is given today in the name of Christ multiply reward eternally? The answer depends only on where you desire your treasure stored.

Humility
Humility 3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. Authority Given By Grace, 3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, (Rom 12:3) Paul here writes with a level of authority in this passage; 3 For I say, …., to every…
Many Members, One Body
Many Members, one body; that is the description of the Church. This is the true and only unity in diversity, for all their efforts the worlds attempts at creating such unity continues to prove itself a failure apart from Christ.
When Truth is denied, the only unity that can exist is unity in error, a complete oxymoron. But this is the corrupt forgery the world continues to attempt and continues to create only division.
The Church is many members, but One Body in Christ.
