What is a Biblical Church? — Part One

by Alistair Begg

Romans 12:1-2  (ID: 0176)

How do we know that a local church is built on a firm, biblical foundation? Can we judge this by looking at its structure or perceived success? Turning to Romans 12, Alistair Begg reminds us how the apostle Paul established churches: by ensuring they were grounded in the Gospel and shaped by God’s grace. When this happens, the people of a local church are transformed, committed in both body and mind, and conformed to God’s will rather than the spirit of the age.

Topics:
Romans 12: 1 -2

A Living Sacrifice

1I appeal to you therefore, brothers,1 by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.2 2Do not be conformed to this world,3 but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.4
