Saints

1.      Our salvation is nearer than anticipated. We must continue to work out our salvation because we never know when we are going to die and we must be working toward becoming more like the Savior, otherwise we may be caught in our sins.

2.      Romans 12:1: Present your body as a living sacrifice to the Lord

Romans 12:2: Be transformed through the Lord and His will
Romans 12:9: Cleave to that which is good
Romans 12:13: Give to those in need
Romans 12:16: Be united
Romans 12:21: Overcome evil with good
Romans 13:1: Allow God to work in your life
Romans 13:3: Do good
Romans 13:8: Love one another
Romans 13:9: Obey the commandments

3.      Paul cautions that people should not be concerned so much about what other people are doing, because it may be right for them, but we must remember that we will all stand before the judgment seat of God, so we need to be concerned about if we’re doing what is right. From Doctrine and Covenants we learn that not only is it important to not be judging them, but to be united with them. We are all brothers and sisters under God and we need to be kind with one another and treat them as such.

4.      Paul referred to the people as saints.
