Paul takes the pen in his hand to complete this letter with a doxology (a word of praise). The goal of theology should always be doxology.

Christian hope is not an immature hope that is optimistic because it does not see the difficulties or obstacles. Rather Christian hope looks trials and difficulties full in the face, and yet it does not despair because it believes in God. In this passage, Paul tells us how we can have this hope, an anchor for the soul.2019-10-2029 minsweetschurch.comJesus Our Model and Motive | Romans 15:1-3 - Romans 12-16In these three verses, Paul summarizes his teaching regarding the practice or the suppression of our Christian liberties for the sake of our fellow believers.

Keeping Jesus before us will result in a lifestyle of gratitude, humility and self-sacrifice.2019-10-1328 min

In these verses, Paul shows us that you can be strong and wrong. If practising our Christian liberty places a roadblock in the path of another believer, we need to realise that we are tripping up someone for whom Christ died. However, laying down our Christian liberties for their benefit is a small sacrifice in light of the sacrifice that Jesus made on their behalf.2019-09-2932 minsweetschurch.comWe Are The Lord's | Romans 14:7-12 - Romans 12-16Paul has told us that we are not to judge each other on non-essentials.

We use this phrase to justify the complete lack of victory and forward momentum in our lives. Is that the gospel message? It's true that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us. But the moment you put your faith in Christ, sin lost its power!
Paul says: "Sin shall not have dominion over you." Why? Because you are not under law, but grace. You may still sin, but sinner is no longer your identity. Sinner is no longer your name.2017-05-1424 minsweetschurch.comInconceivable! - Romans 6-8In Romans 6 Paul explains that continuing in sin would be inconceivable for those who have been given new life in Christ.2017-04-3021 min

"What a small little part of a person’s life are his acts and his words! His real life is led in his head, and is known to none but himself. All day long, the mill of his brain is grinding, and his thoughts, not those other things, are his history"
- Mark Twain

In this scripture, Paul is addressing the con artists in the church. He shows us that a good "antidote" to these evil examples is a good example. He encourages the Philippians.
