Digging Deeper into today’s Bible verses & themes
1. The theme of Rom 12:1-2 is gospel obedience. If you want to do some good reading to help you understand how to grow in a lifestyle of grace-empowered holiness here are a few books that have helped me the most: a) Holiness by J.C. Ryle, b) Future Grace by John Piper, & c) The Discipline of Grace: God's Role and Our Role in the Pursuit of Holiness by Jerry Bridges. Of course the best thing of all to do is read & pray your way through the whole Bible again & again. No book is better than Romans! 2. I share below a little chart that is the fruit of my study in Romans these last months (& which our secretary created on Publisher/ thanks!). It is an overview of some of the many mercies of the gospel expounded for us in Romans. O might we revel in the rainbow of glories that make up God’s grace. Nothing else is as satisfying. Nothing else will transform us.
