Romans 12:1 (#7.2025.01.19)
In this episode, Scott continues the study of Romans, focusing on worship as described in both the Old and New Testaments. Scott emphasizes how worship, according to Scripture, is both a physical and spiritual response to God's sovereignty and graciousness. He links the act of worship to reverence, obedience, sacrifice, faith, and submission to God’s authority, highlighting Abraham's willingness to sacrifice Isaac as a prime example.
Scott also examines how worship manifests in the New Testament, contrasting it with Old Testament practices. He explains that worship is not limited to rituals or gatherings but includes daily acts of service and living in alignment with God's will. Worship involves offering one's entire life as a living sacrifice, blending physical acts with spiritual devotion. Scott encourages listeners to reflect on how their daily actions and choices can serve as true forms of worship based on the mercies of God.
