Romans 16 - You have a part
Show Notes

Three things from the closing of Romans: 1) you have a part, all those introductions are not just niceties (they are niceties, too) they are a grand inclusion of others into the mission and ministry that Christ gave Paul; 2) we are also called to stay on mission and not get led astray; and 3) The mission is that of Christ's work that displays the Lord of Heaven in the world.

So roll up your sleeves, put your mind in gear, be totally ready to receive the gift that’s coming when Jesus arrives. Don’t lazily slip back into those old grooves of evil, doing just what you feel like doing. You didn’t know any better then; you do now. As obedient children, let yourselves be pulled into a way of life shaped by God’s life, a life energetic and blazing with holiness. God said, “I am holy; you be holy. [1 Peter 1:13-16]
