The Christian life is not about trying harder or doing more, but about surrendering to God's Spirit in us. Those who live according to the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. As Christians, our mindset matters. For whatever we have our minds set on shapes the character of our lives. To become like Christ, we must set our minds on spiritual things that are pleasing to God.

People were made for relationships. The Bible tells us the two most important relationships we will have in this life are with God and with people. Being a Christian should have a positive impact on all our relationships. In Romans 12, we find a summary of the whole of the Christian life and the intended effect being a Christian should have on our relationship with God and others. Throughout the Romans 12 series, we will discover what a life of truly following Jesus looks like.
