How does the gospel transform our relationships, our choices, and even our identity? In this concluding study of Philemon, Pastor Phil Fernandes examines Paul’s appeal for Philemon to receive the runaway slave Onesimus no longer merely as a slave, but as a beloved brother in Christ. Rather than commanding Philemon to release Onesimus, Paul appeals to him in love, emphasizing that Christian obedience should flow voluntarily from a heart transformed by God’s grace. Once considered “useless,” Onesimus had become a believer, a spiritual son to Paul, and a useful servant in the work of God’s kingdom.
