We are not meant to live an exaggerated form of Christian individualism – a “Jesus-and-me” mentality. God did not call us into salvation in isolation but in community. Romans 12:3-18 shows us that as Christians, we are called to live out our faith in a Gospel community of service and love.

The Gospel of grace does not leave us under the power of sin but ushers God’s people into a life in the Spirit, marked by power and victory over sin. We are then encouraged to pursue holiness and hate sin, through the Spirit’s power.

Since we are made right in God’s sight by faith, we may wonder if the gospel changes us at all. As we read in Romans, we see the nature of faith going beyond mental assent to facts to identification and allegiance to Jesus. This changes our core selves so we become more authentic Christians as we live this out.
