Gospel instalment: 07-06-2025 Sermon Title: 1. Conduct in humility Text: Romans 12 1. Apostle Paul has thus far labored to teach God's way of making a sinner righteous. 2. And it is not of works or law obedience, but of grace alone. 3. And the same God has gathered a community of the redeemed-the church, the body of Christ. 4. And He has issued instructions on how it ought to function for His sake. 5. So, Apostle Paul now goes into the commands, imperatives, instructions, exhortations of his teaching to help guide the church in its conduct. 6. And we have followed the same pattern in the presentation of the gospel, that we do not teach imperatives apart from the gospel. 7. Why? because many have turned the imperatives into the gospel or means to establish another righteousness for themselves. 8. So, there are many things to say, things to qualify to get this right. And whilst at this, the imperatives of the New Covenant are NOT the Law of Moses. Many things to glean...The sermon emphasizes the importance of understanding the gospel as the foundation for Christian living, arguing that imperatives—commands or exhortations—are not the basis for salvation but rather flow from it. It highlights the necessity of renewing the mind with gospel truth to properly interpret and apply these commands, which are intended to guide the church in conducting itself with humility and purpose within a world often driven by vanity and unbelief. Ultimately, the message underscores that true Christian conduct stems from a recognition of God's grace and a desire to reflect His character, fostering a functioning community rooted in the gospel and distinct from worldly patterns.
