Minister to One Another in the Church

Minister to One Another in the Church

Romans 12:3
Excerpt
When our thinking has truly been transformed and renewed by the Spirit, it is impossible to have an exaggerated view of our own worth. Instead, we will humbly use all our gifts and strengths to minister to each other. This is Paul’s concern here as he calls for sober judgment regarding our place in God’s community. So he begins with the grace given to me, probably a reference to his Damascus Road experience (Acts 9) where he encountered God’s gracious call to be his apostle to the Gentiles; thus he is appealing to his apostolic authority. More
