Here Paul begins to wrap up his letter to the Romans and in this section he affirms the believers in Rome while at the same time explaining to them the right he has to speak into their lives as he has. In all he writes what is abundantly clear is that Paul is not doing his own thing for his own purposes. Rather he is simply living out that to which Christ has called him and in everything. What is clear to us as readers is the Christ-centredness of Pauls life and ministry. Though some of the particulars will be different, we are each called into this same kind of life, fully centred upon Christ.
