It reads like a "how to" manual. How to love with no strings attached! If there were ever a clearly articulated instruction on righteous living through the offices of Jesus Christ alone, this it it. When I read these verses I am struck by the exhortation that we live a life of complete humility which in my view can only occur with the exercise of unconditional love. If you get a chance read the Matthew Henry Whole Bible Commentary on this portion of Roman's 12. Not an easy read but very inspiring and powerful. Don't you love it that God's word is so clear!GEShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06715533989429905611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6464880473988273009.post-31211660193308435442009-03-03T19:13:00.000-07:002009-03-03T19:13:00.000-07:00I have a CD set on the Spiritual gifts if anyone w...I have a CD set on the Spiritual gifts if anyone wants to figure out what their gift is. <BR/><BR/>v.10 The note in my Bible talks about the motive for honoring people. Unlike the world, our motive is because they have been created in God's image.<BR/><BR/>Same with v.13... hospitality may look different from social entertaining. I'm thankful for that.Pam Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02714625057049007949noreply@blogger.com
