    A Brief Overview of Genesis

    In Response to God’s Mercies (Romans 12:1)

    In Response to God’s Mercies Significantly, Paul’s appeal in Romans 12 is to all believers, irrespective of ethnic origin. This is important to see because Romans 12 immediately follows Paul’s effort toward bringing the Jewish believers (Rom. 11:1-12) in harmony with the Gentile believers (Rom. 11:13-24).

    Ecclesiastes

                Ecclesiastes is part of the wisdom literature of the Old Testament Scriptures.
