Ben's Thoughts on Romans 12:1

I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.

Ben wrote to me:
“By the mercies of God” sounds like “if you listened to the last 11 chapters.” This is what I think he is saying. “So, because of the great salvation that I have just laid out for you in amazing definition and detail, worship the Lord by giving him yourselves in all purity.”

A good assessment, I thought.
