Romans
16:25-27 ESV Now to Him who is able to strengthen you according to my gospel
and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery
that was kept secret for long ages but has now been disclosed and through the
prophetic writings has been make known to all nations, according to the command
of the eternal God, to bring about the obedience of faith – to the only wise
God be glory forevermore through Jesus Christ. Amen
God
establish us by the gospel and the proclamation of Jesus Christ. According to
the revelation of the mystery, which was hidden long ago, He has made it known
through the prophetic writings the commands of the eternal God. All nations may
believe and obey Him. God is all wise, all knowing, and His glory will be
forever through Jesus Christ. The church in Rome was a cosmopolitan mixture of
Roman citizens, Jews, Gentiles, slaves, free people, world travellers, men, and
women therefore; it had potential for great influence and conflict. We can
testify and witness that God lives. Inviting Him into our hearts, minds, souls,
and spirits is where He dwells in us of those who accept Him as Lord and
Saviour of their souls.
Our
faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of the things we do not
see. God builds up our faith, and we should be excited and thankful to Him for
this. He increases our faith daily through the supernatural power of the Holy
Spirit of God. He enables us to believe in the things He tells us that He will
do. Our confidence is in God and not in our mortal natures. We know within our
hearts all things are certain with God in Christ. He has been faithful to us in
the past, and also He will be faithful to us in the future. We have seen His
promises being fulfilled. We have the divine assurance and anticipation so we
are able to stand upon His promises and faith He gives to us. Our faith is the
conviction based upon our past experiences. God’s new and fresh surprises will
be surely ours as He blesses day by day.
