We had the joy of finishing our Romans series in chapter 16, looking at what it means to be a church shaped by the gospel. Paul closes his letter with a long list of greetings, but as we saw, it’s much more than end credits. It’s a picture of the gospel at work—bringing together men and women, Jew and Gentile, rich and poor, young and old—one diverse family in Christ. We were reminded that a gospel-shaped church is called to honour one another, guard against division, and ultimately bring glory to Jesus in everything we do. Romans begins and ends with the same truth: the gospel of Jesus is for all people, and it is this good news that shapes us into His family.
