In the preceding chapters of Romans, Paul has set out the glorious truth of the gospel and all that it means for those who trust in Jesus. Paul now wants us to live the gospel — to live in response to God's mercy and grace, and to live in the fullness of all the gospel has won for us. When we understand who we are in Christ, and renew our minds in line with this truth, we can be transformed! Living free and living for God — just like Jesus.
