REFLECTION SCRIPTURE READING: Romans 6:6 SUMMARY: *Paul closes this letter by grabbing the pen himself (after likely dictating the rest) to point to the main thing: the cross of the Lord Jesus Christ. There isn’t a “safe, persecution-free” way to follow Christ obediently and in the Spirit - we are a marked people! * CLOSING: Philippians 4:7 Who is writing this? (Galatians 6:11) Is! (2 Timothy 3:16) God is using Paul! (2 Peter 1:20-21) God is using Paul's style and the custom of the day.
