- Section 1 Returning to the text in Romans chapter 16, Paul continues greeting believers who served faithfully in the early church. One of the most remarkable descriptions appears when Paul says, “Greet Apelles, who is approved in Christ.” That brief phrase is an extraordinary commendation. To be known as someone approved by Christ is a powerful testimony of a person’s life and character. Paul then greets those belonging to the household of Aristobulus and also mentions Herodian, calling him a fellow countryman, indicating another Jewish believer serving alongside him. He also greets those in the household of Narcissus who are in the Lord, showing that not every member of a household necessarily shared the same faith. Paul then mentions Tryphena and Tryphosa, women who worked hard in the Lord, along with Persis, whom he calls beloved and who worked very hard for the Lord. These brief acknowledgments highlight the importance of faithful labor in God’s kingdom. The early church was filled with believers who served diligently, often without recognition, yet their work strengthened the body of Christ and helped the church grow. Section 2 Paul’s greetings remind believers that faithful service is rooted in devotion to God rather than entitlement. Scripture consistently teaches that everything people receive from God is a gift of grace and mercy. Even the breath of life itself comes from Him. Because of this, the motivation for serving the Lord is gratitude rather than obligation. The believers Paul mentions worked hard not because they expected recognition but because they desired to serve God and help His people. Their examples demonstrate that dedication to others is an important expression of faith. Paul also greets Rufus, chosen in the Lord, and mentions Rufus’s mother, who had also been like a mother to him. This comment reveals the warmth and personal relationships that existed among believers in the early church. These connections were not merely organizational but deeply relational. The church functioned as a spiritual family where believers cared for one another, supported one another, and shared life together. Section 3 The closing greetings in this portion of Romans show how deeply connected the early Christian community was. Paul lists several more individuals and encourages believers to greet one another warmly. These greetings demonstrate that the church was built on fellowship and shared commitment to Christ. Christianity was never intended to be lived in isolation. Scripture teaches that believers are part of a body in which every person contributes something valuable. When Christians withdraw from fellowship, both they and the church lose something important. The relationships within the church strengthen believers, encourage faith, and allow spiritual gifts to benefit others. Even when believers experience disappointment or difficulty within the church, God’s design for His people remains the same. Christians are meant to walk together, support one another, and remain connected as the body of Christ with Jesus as the head. This fellowship reflects God’s intention for His people to grow together in faith and love.

The Kingdom of God (KOG) prioritizes advancing the gospel. Its central focus is making disciples of Jesus, who then live out biblical values in every sphere of life, including the marketplace. This results in lasting transformation and human flourishing. Christian Nationalism (CN), by contrast, prioritizes advancing the nation’s politics. Its emphasis is often on gaining political power and legislating morality, rather than first transforming hearts through the gospel.
While politics and economics are indeed vital areas where biblical ethics can be expressed, the Kingdom is never reduced to them. Instead, followers of Jesus are called to permeate society with gospel-shaped living.
Importantly, this does not mean Christians must withdraw from public life. A believer can faithfully serve Jesus while holding political office, provided their ultimate allegiance remains to Christ and His Kingdom—not to a political ideology or national identity.
