In this kick-off to the series, Life in God’s Kingdom, Bruce sets the stage for a study of the “practical living” section of Paul’s letter to the Romans. He summarizes the panoramic sweep of Christian doctrine in Romans 1-11 and focuses on Paul’s transition into applying that doctrine to kingdom living. He discuss Paul’s three commands to the church in Ro. 12:1-2, then discusses verses 3-8–the three attitudes and seven giftings that form a firm foundation for living life in God’s kingdom.
