Sermon Notes: In Christ Alone - Romans 12:3-8

Romans 12:3-8
Our usefulness to the Lord depends on:

I. A Proper Attitude- Humility
1Tim 1:12-17, 1Cor 12:31 - 13:3  
John Calvin- "For so blindly do we all rush in the direction of self-love that everyone thinks he has a good reason for exalting himself and despising all others in comparison....There is no other remedy than to pluck up by the roots those most noxious pests, self-love and love of victory.... This the doctrine of Scripture does. For it teaches us to remember that the endowments which God has bestowed upon us are not our own, but His free gifts, and that those who plume themselves upon them betray their ingratitude." 

II. A Proper Relationship- Unity in Diversity

III. A Proper Service- Exercising our Gifts
1Cor 14:1-3, Heb 10:25, 2Tim 1:6-7
