Reading guidance & reflection
Understand
God's mercy calls believers to offer their lives to Him and be renewed in their thinking (Romans 12:1–8). Colossians 3:12–17 describes the compassion, patience, forgiveness and love that should mark life together in Christ. Ephesians 5:1–17 calls for loving, holy and wise conduct. Read these passages with attention to your own relationships and responsibilities. Depend on the Holy Spirit and choose a practical act of obedience; Christian living grows from grace rather than earning it.
