Paul focuses the attention of the church toward the goal- Jesus enthroned and proclaimed.
Paul points out bad examples and good examples .
God transforms all who submit to his authority.
Mankind is creative in their sin. Some even attempt to justify it.
Learn from examples- both good and bad.
Eternal perspective is very helpful- particularly in the middle of hardship.
Father, thank you for your heavenly promises based on the finished work of Christ.
