Summary

What does living like a Christian really mean? How do the day-to-day, rubber meets the road, "what am I supposed to do now?" questions get answered when circumstances leave an honest person really struggling?

5 Key Relationships:

Relationship with God: SURRENDERED to God -Romans 12:1
Relationship with the world: SEPARATE from the World -Romans 12:2
Relationship with yourself: SOBER in Self-Assessment -Romans 12:3-8
Relationship with believers: SERVING in Love -Romans 12:9-13

Romans 4-5: SALVATION - God’s solution in the work of Jesus Christ on the cross.
Romans 6-8: SANCTIFICATION - Living your new life in God’s power and growing progressively in Christ-likeness.
Romans 9-11: SACRIFICE - Living in confidence because God is in control and keeps all His promises…
