Paul starts this section (12:1-2) with a challenge to commitment based on God's mercies. In verses 3-8 we see the futility of boasting in what God has graciously given us. Three main thoughts will be discussed: 1) There is no sense in boasting over God's gracious gifts. 2) God has blessed us all uniquely with His gifts. 3) We should be seeking to use our gifts for God's glory.
