What happens when Christ redeems a people and brings them into covenant with each other? In this passage we see the four pillars of covenant life that shaped the early church and continues to shape the covenant people of God today.
Romans 12:9-13 From Cooperation to Prioritization: Loving the Body of Christ
In a world shaped by mere self-interest and shallow connection, God calls His people to something deeper. Romans 12:9–13 gives us a vision of unfeigned love—love that hates evil, clings to what is good, and gives itself for the good of the saints.
