What makes for good community?

Jesus transforms people by the gospel to create communities that transform (Romans 12:1-2, 9)

Christians are people transformed by God’s mercy through Jesus (12:1-2)

Christian community transforms people to be like Jesus (12:9)

Christians are to form communities characterised by love and honour (12:10)

Christians are loved by God and so they love each other like family

Christians are accepted by God so they honour each other freely and eagerly
