Chapter twelve spoke about the believer’s relationship to other believers, and non-believers, Chapter thirteen hones in on our relationship to government. In this world God has established three main institutions > 1. The Home- Gen 2, 2. The Church- Acts 2, 3. Government – Rom 13, and throughout history where nations and countries have failed, one or more of these three institutions had fallen, and rendered obsolete in society.

Paul started this chapter initially by telling us the type of attitude and character that is needed if we are to fully commit ourselves to serving God whole heartedly. He says we first must surrender our will, goals and desires unto Him, and we do that by sacrificing my mind and my body to the fulfilling of The Lord’s plans for my life instead of my own plans.

Romans chapter twelve started out by explaining how we as believers are expected to surrender everything that we have to The Lord > mind, body and spirit, and once we have we’ll experience a transformation that will start from the inside out, from our mind, to our will and then our bodies. After fully surrendering Paul then introduces us to the gifts that all believers possess when they get saved, and how these gifts are given to edify and grow God’s Church, they were never intended for selfish use or o bring personal gain.
