In these verse verses of Romans 12 I've become convinced that the Apostle Paul is setting before the Church the Christian ethic.
He sets down principles that are practical directions for how we as believers are to live. They are therefore important and worthy of our due attention. They pretty well set the stage for the conduct of God’s people as they are a part of Christ’s Church.
The Christian’s Sacrifice is really just the proper and fitting response (we might say our calling) of service that is how we should respond to the God’s Amazing Grace. We are to be and live as "living sacrifices."
In the next gift listed, SHOWING MERCY, we have a reminder are all to be kind and gracious in our demeanor and treatment of others. The concern is not just to feel compassion, but actually do something... show kindness and mercy to others.
