—Romans 12:9-18
by: Ellen Olson.
These verses set a very high standard for our behavior as Christians-a standard that is unreachable and impossible without God's help. Live peaceably with all men. Repay no one evil for evil. Bless those who persecute you. Do not be wise in your own opinion. Abhor what is evil.
The verses describe an active, all-encompassing, zealous service to God. They encourage us to set high standards in our Christian behavior and to pursue those standards with everything we've got. Our zealous pursuit of these Godly standards is what sets Christians apart in our sinful world.
