What are the last four chapters of Romans about?

The last four chapters of Romans present practical Christian living—common, ordinary instruction for a set-apart people. They emphasize priority: God first, then other things find their rightful place. This is the believer's reasonable service, calling for setting priorities so God is first.

Les explains that the last four chapters of Romans are simply practical Christian living. By practical he means common, ordinary instruction, not something odd or left field. He connects this to being a set-apart people, designated by God as people of the Book who live to please Him first. This practical living comes down to priority: God first, then other things fall into their rightful place, as Scripture says to seek first the Kingdom of Heaven. He also notes the Greek term “reasonable service” in this section, having taught Romans off and on for almost 20 years.
