How Could Anyone Argue About This Truth?

Paul nails this truth about our attitudes here in Romans chapter 12. It’s simple, we are to see ourselves as an important part of the body, serving a specific and necessary role, but we are not more important than other parts. Humility and meekness play a huge role in our attitudes. The only way we can strive toward this type of attitude is to be honest with ourselves. God gives us the ability to see truth. It’s a spiritual sight. The only issue we have, is what we do with it. If we are honest, we deal with our shortcomings openly. We need to see ourselves as necessary, but not so important that we separate ourselves from others. Life is all about relationships. When we are humble and honest with ourselves, those relationships have more room to grow and flourish. How could anyone argue with this truth? It benefits everyone.

3 Because of the privilege and authority God has given me, I give each of you this warning: Don’t think you are better than you really are. Be honest in your evaluation of yourselves, measuring yourselves by the faith God has given us. 4 Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function, 5 so it is with Christ’s body. We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other. Romans 12:3-5
