Doxology
"Now to him who is able to establish you in accordance with my gospel, the message I proclaim about Jesus Christ, in keeping with the revelation of the mystery hidden for long ages past, but now revealed and made known through the prophetic writings by the command of the eternal God, so that all the Gentiles might come to the obedience that comes from faith—to the only wise God be glory forever through Jesus Christ! Amen." (Romans 16:25-27, NIV)
Paul’s doxology at the end of Romans is a powerful declaration of God’s wisdom, glory, and redemptive plan through Jesus Christ. This passage reminds us of the mystery of the gospel, now revealed, and the call for all nations to respond in faith. It emphasizes the greatness of God and the glory due to Him.
Paul speaks of the "revelation of the mystery hidden for long ages past." This mystery refers to God’s plan of salvation through Jesus Christ, which was previously hidden but is now revealed. This unveiling demonstrates God’s perfect timing and His sovereignty in revealing His redemptive plan.
Life Application:
- Acknowledge His Wisdom: Reflect on the wisdom of God’s plan of salvation and give Him glory for His incredible foresight and grace.
- Live in Obedience: Respond to the gospel with a life of faith and obedience, seeking to honor God in all you do.
- Proclaim His Glory: Share the good news of Jesus Christ with others, bringing glory to God through your testimony.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for the mystery of the gospel now revealed through Jesus Christ. Help us to live in obedience to Your word and proclaim Your glory to all. May our lives be a testament to Your wisdom and grace. In Jesus' name, Amen.
