When Paul or one of the apostles wrote a letter of exhortation to the church, they usually emphasized the main message they wanted the readers to hear and obey with the word, "Finally."
Paul wrote this to the Corinthian church: "Finally,....Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you (2 Corinthians 13:11)." He wrote the following to the Ephesians Church: "Finally,...be strong in the LORD, and in the power of His might."
Paul's exhortation to the Philippian Church is one that I want you to do everyday. He wrote: "Finally,...whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things (Philippians 4:8)." Obey these exhortations daily and you will live a fruitful life.
2 CORINTHIANS 13:11; EPHESIANS 6:10; PHILIPPIANS 4:8
