F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Romans 12:1-8

Devoting Self and Using Gifts Romans 12:1-8 Therefore links this practical appeal to the whole of the sublime argument, which reaches its climax in the previous chapter. It is easier to die once for God than to live always the surrendered life. But nothing so pleases God as daily surrender, the sacrificed and yielded will tied by cords to His altar. Such an attitude is the only reasonable one we can assume. If God be all we profess to believe, He is worthy of all we are. But we are reminded... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Romans 12:9-21

Living as a Christian Romans 12:9-21 In this section the Apostle shows how the great principle of consecration must affect the details of conduct. It is most necessary to insist on these practical issues. At some impressive religious convention, where the vision of a surrendered and transfigured life is presented, sensitive souls are led to make the vows and claim the plane of life which have been presented; but on their return to the commonplaces, there is no perceptible improvement in... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Romans 12:1-21

The word "therefore" links all that is now to be said with everything that has gone before. Because of the grace of God, the believer is called to certain attitudes and actions. The very first of these is personal abandonment to God. In what sense is it possible to present the body to God? The true ideal is to use it in all its powers according to the good and acceptable and perfect will of God. The spirit is evidently God's. The body, therefore, is presented to God. The mind is thus renewed... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Romans 12:1-3

A God-Planned Life Ephesians 2:8-12 ; Romans 12:1-3 INTRODUCTORY WORDS We read of Epaphras that he prayed for the saints that they might stand perfect and complete in all the will of God. The will of God toward us should ever be the chief quest of our lives. What does God want me to do, and what does He want me to be? that is the supreme question for each of us. On one occasion certain ones told Christ that His mother and His brethren sought Him. The Lord said, "Who is My mother? and who are... read more

God's Call to Consecration Romans 12:1-13 INTRODUCTORY WORDS Permit me to enlarge upon the expression, "therefore." Our chapter opens thus: "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God." 1. There is presented a basis for God's call to consecration. God does not ask us to do something, while He does nothing. No Christian can outdo God in giving all. God does not ask us to do anything, that is irrational, unjust, or uncalled for. His call is to a rational service, a reasonable... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Romans 12:3

HUMILITY‘I say … to every man who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think.’ Romans 12:3 Humility is the pre-eminent Christian virtue. Pagan teachers required their followers to be brave, just, and true, but over all as a sort of guard Christianity sets humility. I. What is humility?—Humility is different from contrition. The man convinced of sin is contrite. There is no one of us who does not know the humility which comes of contrition. But Christian humility... read more

UNITY‘For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.’ Romans 12:4-Deuteronomy : It is one of the nobler impulses of mankind to reverence that which has been reverenced by those who are esteemed as saints. Many a man has remained in the religious communion in which he was born, not because it the most nearly answers to his ideal, but from a sense of loyalty to his forefathers.... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Romans 12:5

‘MEMBERS ONE OF ANOTHER’‘So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.’ Romans 12:5 There are some moral and spiritual truths which it seems to be almost impossible to impress upon the practical life of the world, although they meet with a sort of universal acceptance. I. The purpose of Christ’s revelation is to crucify the selfish instinct in us, and to rouse us to the life of self-devotion, to the idea of consecrated energies; and this being so, all... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Romans 12:11

ENTHUSIASM‘Fervent in spirit.’ Romans 12:11 Without the intense fire of God burning in enthusiastic hearts, the moral, the spiritual world, yes, the whole world of man, would sink into a universe of death! I. Think what enthusiasm has done even in spheres not immediately religious.—The enthusiasm of the student, of the artist, of the discoverer, of the man of science—what else could have inspired their infinite patience, their unlimited self-sacrifice? II. Again, there is the enthusiasm of... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Romans 12:16

A MUCH-NEEDED PRECEPT‘Set not your mind on high things, but condescend to things that are lowly.’ Romans 12:16 (R.V.) I. Here, in the text, is one of those precepts which, rightly understood, is one of the most practical we can set ourselves to master (in the formation of Christian character). The wording is taken advisedly from our New Version, which is nearer to the original than that of the Authorised Version, but nevertheless fails to convey its full meaning. ‘Set not your mind on high... read more
