Paul continues his letter of instruction and encouragement by reminding us that we all have been given different gifts, just as each part of the body has a different function. Having recognised that we have been given gifts, Paul writes “let us use them”, in serving, exhortation, generosity, zeal and cheerfulness.
Regardless of our gift, Paul says “let love be genuine”. A true Christian is visible by their actions, in overcoming evil with good. This is how we are to be transformed, how we act as a living sacrifice. As David writes, “with God we shall do valiantly; it is He who will tread down our foes… so will I ever sing praises to your name, as I perform my vows day after day”.
Yes there are injustices in the world; God will judge those responsible accordingly. It is up to us to live according to our calling, involving God in all things, serving Him daily.
