In Romans 12:3 we read, "For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith" Do you realize how special you are? The caution in Romans 12:3 is against high-mindedness. It is a call to sound-minded meditation concerning who you are in Christ. Here are adjectives used in the New Testament to describe a Christian. As you read through this list, let your mind draw a word portrait. Remember, these words are the thoughts of God toward you.
