Romans 16:17-27

TO GOD BE THE GLORY

Keywords 16:26b

so that all nations might believe and obey him--

 

1. Be wise and innocent (17-20)

Paul warned the believers to watch out for any who would try to cause division

within the church, or who would lead others to themselves rather than to God.

Being wise means discerning the grace of God. Being innocent means waiting on

Christ to crush Satan under our feet.

 

2. So that all nations might believe (21-27)

Paul wrote with the greetings of his fellow workers. Paul had worked among the

Gentiles to plant the hope of God in them. They shared, each in their own personal

way, in his priestly ministry, and they were always a blessing to Paul. Finally, he

blessed the Christians in Rome with a blessing of hope and vision for when all

nations will believe and obey God. It is God who establishes us to be gospel

workers. The hope of God is nothing less than the redemption of this world from

the power of sin, including all nations, to the worship of God. When all nations

believe and obey God then God will be glorified forever.

 

Prayer Lord, give me vision and hope to pray for all people to believe and obey

the gospel. Bless me to care about your glory.

One Word That all nations might believe
