491 Romans Chapter 12

Paul has been making a philosophical argument showing that the Gospel is not new. Justification has always been by the grace of God, accessed by faith, made possible by the finish work of Christ, according to the will of God. But starting in chapter 6 and really shifting starting in chapter 8 Paul has shifted the focus to asking, "What will you do with this amazing gift of God? How will you live?" Then Paul answers those questions until his closing comments at the end of the letter.
