Description
Michael and Gianna discuss the importance of living out the principles of new creation in the context of community and society. They explore the idea that the church is called to be a new creation community that embodies love, hospitality, and reconciliation. They emphasize the need to reject the dynamics of the old creation, such as power struggles and revenge, and instead embrace the transformative power of love and forgiveness. They also discuss the role of governing authorities and the importance of submitting to them while remaining faithful to the principles of new creation.Takeaways- The concept of new creation in Romans 12 emphasizes the need to live differently and embrace a new reality in Christ.- Sincere love is the starting point for the new creation community- Power with others, rather than power over others, is the redemptive power of the new creation.- Moralism can be dangerous and can distract from the transformative power of the new creation.- Living out the principles of new creation requires a radical transformation of our mindset and actions.Chapters00:00 - Introduction10:31 - The Background of Romans 1215:28 - Embracing the New Creation18:45 - Power Over vs. Power Within the New Creation19:45 - The Dangers of Moralism in the New Creation25:36 - Living Out the New Creation: Love, Unity, and Renewal29:08 - Living as a New Creation Community39:02 - Rejecting Revenge and Trusting in God's Justice
