Taylor Swift and Drake both wrote songs at high moments in their careers about how God helps those who help themselves. This may sound like good news when things are going your way, but when the rest of life happens, we need something far stronger than our ability to make good choices. Fortunately for us (and them!), Romans 12:1-2 gives us access to how the gospel brings about bigger and longer lasting transformation than anything we can contrive, even at our best, and this is good news.
