This passage sums up the life of those who have been justified by God through faith in Jesus Christ. Our goal is God’s glory as we do his will. The means to that goal is non-conformity to the world, transformation of our inner person through the renewing of our minds, and offering ourselves to God as living sacrifices. The motivation to live this way and for this purpose is the mercy of God shown to us in Christ. As those justified by the atoning sacrifice of Jesus, we are now living sacrifices to God to do his will. This is mercy’s appeal to us.

The image of the church in this passage is a body with many parts, each functioning as a whole. This is a picture of Christian community in a local congregation. By the mercy of God, which saves us from our sins, we who are many are now gathered together in oneness in Christ. We are each gifted to make some contribution to the health of the congregation. When we function this way, the church is built up and the power of the gospel is made more evident in the world. Ultimately, the community made by mercy glorifies God.
