1) Romans 12:1-2
What is Paul urging the Christians to do? What does that mean? How is it different from the old sacrificial system? How is worship dependent on this attitude? What does it mean to be conformed? What does it mean to be transformed? How has God renewed your mind? How does it still need to be renewed? How does presenting yourself as a sacrifice prove God’s will?
2) Romans 12:3-8
According to Paul, how should a Christian think of themselves? Why? How do we all fit together as Christians? Why do you think Paul was giving these instructions? What service gifts has God given you? How are you using them?
3) Romans 12:9-16
How can love be tainted by hypocrisy? What did Paul have to say about how Christians treat each other? What did he have to say about a Christian’s attitude? Which of these is hardest for you? When are we tempted to be wise in our own estimation? What is the danger in this attitude? How does it affect our relationship with God? With others?
4) Romans 12:17-21
What are the main categories of behaviors Paul addresses in this passage? How can you respect what is right in the sight of someone you disagree with? What does Paul say about peace? Why is this important to a Christian? How does Paul’s teaching about revenge compare to our society’s teaching about it? How should a Christian overcome evil? When is it tempting to do it differently? Why is this a foundational truth?
