Paul’s closing statements encourage Christ-followers to be a good example for outsiders.
Its always good to remember where you came from. This helps us stay tender toward those who are not yet Christ-followers.
God offers his grace and salvation- not because we are good but because he is good.
Lost people act lost. Spiritually immature people act immature.
Be patient and point to Jesus, remembering what he saved you out of.
There is great wisdom and instruction here, especially dealing with outsiders.
Father, its only by your grace that you reached out to me, an outsider, and adopted me into the family. I am eternally grateful!
