Romans 12:9 - 12:21
RomansSteve Gregg
This text covers a variety of topics related to the response to God's mercies. Christians are urged to love without pretense, abhor evil, cling to good, and show affection to one another. We are also advised to judge what is right and wrong, serve the Lord zealously, be patient in tribulation, and prioritize helping both Christians and non-Christians. The passage urges us to maintain peaceful relationships with others, even with enemies, as revenge is best left to God.
