## Resource

Romans 16 reveals the beauty of God’s kingdom at work through ordinary, faithful people. In Paul’s final greetings, names like Phoebe, Priscilla, Aquila, Rufus, and many others become a picture of generosity, courage, hospitality, discipleship, and spiritual family. The church is not built by celebrities, but by servants who work hard in the Lord, open their homes, share their resources, and carry the mission of Jesus together. Paul also gives a sober warning to guard against divisive voices and deceptive teaching, calling believers to be “wise as to what is good and innocent as to what is evil.” Romans closes with deep confidence in the victory of Christ: the God of peace will soon crush Satan, and the promises of the gospel remain sure for all who are in Him.
