ROMANS Study Guide

Rom 16:25 Now to Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ according to the revelation of the mystery, having been unvoiced during eternal times. Rom 16:26 but now has been made plain, and by the prophetic Scriptures, according to the commandment

of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith. Rom 16:27 to God only wise be glory through Jesus Christ forever. Amen.

c. Paul’s doxology: vss.25 -27

1. Give God the glory (praise) who is going to cause you to stand

firm in your faith… according to (or by means of) the gospel

Paul preaches (the Kerugma : proclaimed gospel) …. faith

alone as our means of justification.

2. This gospel that was silent (a hidden mystery) for so long but

has now been revealed through the prophets and their writings

as God commanded them to do (scripture was not m an’s

idea) … so now all nations and peoples may believe on and

obey God’s Salvation in Jesus Christ.

3. To the only wise God (who brought all this together in his

power and wisdom) be glory in Jesus Christ forever! Amen

Conclusion: Paul did make it to Roman but not in the way he had hoped… he came in chains and after suffering a great ship wreck (Acts 27-28). In this letter Paul had clearly established his credentials to impart the “full gospel blessing” to this Church. Romans is a powerful and essential biblical book clarifying the New Covenant we have in Jesus Christ. If you want to truly understand our salvation and sanctification in Christ Jesus, you must understand this book.
