Today's Verse: Romans 12:12 (ESV)
zRejoice in hope, abe patient in tribulation, bbe constant in prayer.
z See ch. 5:2
a See Heb. 10:36
b See Acts 1:14
In this section, Paul talks about that which is pleasing to God, with respect to Christian behavior. God expects us to use the gifts that He gives to us and have a proper attitude toward those gifts.
Today's Comments: Attitude is really what it is all about. The attitude of the Christian shows the love of God and the love of neighbor. We don't become Christians just to sit and look pretty in church. God wants us to use whatever He chooses in the way of gifts to us in His worship and in our ministry to our neighbor. We are a priesthood of believers, and one of the functions of the priest is to minister to His flock. And so we should minister to anybody that we see who might benefit from our efforts. In other words, we should be there for others, as much as possible.
