Real Names
Scripture: Romans 16:1-16
Why does Paul conclude Romans with a list of names? In Romans 16:1–16, Pastor Zach Carter shows how these greetings reveal that God works in real history, saves real individuals, and brings them into one family. The names offer a window into Christianity’s historical credibility and a deeply personal comfort: Jesus knows his sheep by name.
For anxious believers, this is an invitation to rest in Christ’s tender care. For those who feel disconnected, it is a call to embrace the family that comes with salvation—knowing others, bearing their burdens, and allowing ourselves to be known.
