Romans 16 – Brandon Hatmaker “The Same”
Wednesday, June 11th, 2008
“Now to him who is able to establish you by my gospel and the proclamation of Jesus Christ, according to 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 nations might believe and obey him— to the only wise God be glory forever through Jesus Christ! Amen.” – Romans 16:25-27
Paul closes his letter by reminding us that not only is God able, but also that He alone is worthy of all glory. He is both mystery and revelation. Sounds complicated but it's not. Why is this? So that all nations might believe. Sometimes it’s the simple things that are so refreshing to me. This is our God. He’s been the same from the beginning in His plan for redemption. We can rest in this truth. We can grow in this truth. We can trust in this truth.

ReplyDeleteOne more little bit of advice from Paul to the church. The more we DO God's work the more Satan will use the world to stop us. We must never stop DOING the work of Jesus.
