This is a challenging life, that requires us to live in the world but not be of the world. This is what it means to be "all in."
A study of Roman passages. In writing to the church in Rome, Paul is addressing a church where both Jews and Gentiles worshiped together. This presented both opportunities and challenges. Paul calls this church to--in light of all God has done for them--think, act, and serve differently, in a "holy" manner. To serve differently. To be motivated differently. To love differently. To associate with others differently. To respond to mistreatment differently. To overcome evil differently. And all of this was so that the gospel might be proclaimed powerfully and effectively This is what it means to be "living sacrifices," holy and pleasing to God. This is a challenging life, that requires us to live in the world but not be of the world. This is what it means to be "all in."
