What is the outgrowth of the gospel? In a word, the church. As Paul begins his official valediction of this monumental letter, a Christ-centered farewell emerges intertwined with personal greetings that celebrate the gospel. This portion of sacred Scripture offers much more than an inspired list of names. It is written and preserved for our good, with powerful relevance in every age of the church. It extols the glories of Christ in a most tangible demonstration of gospel outgrowth.
