Send Biblicaltalks a Text Message

This is a spotlight on the Scriptures Romans 16:25-27 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 made 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. 

 

What a doxology! A divine masterpiece of grace and truth, ringing with the melody of heaven!

This ain’t just theology—it’s doxology! Sound doctrine was never meant to sit cold on a shelf; it was meant to set your soul on fire! Paul isn’t just dropping knowledge in Romans—he’s lifting praise. He’s showing us that the gospel isn’t just about making us feel good; it’s about making God look glorious!

Yes, we shout for joy because we’ve been rescued from wrath, redeemed by the blood, and robed in righteousness. 

Yes, we dance because we’ve been blessed with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places (Eph. 1:3). But don’t get it twisted—the gospel doesn’t end with us. It begins and ends with Him!

The Westminster Shorter Catechism got it right: “The chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.” That’s not just a statement—it’s a command! To glorify God means to reflect His majesty, to mirror His might, to magnify His matchless name!

 

And hear me, saints—joy and glory are not enemies. As Dr. John Piper reminds us, “God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him.” That means when your soul is full of Him, your life becomes a hallelujah!

So when Paul calls Him “the only wise God,” he’s not just making a statement—he’s sounding the trumpet! He’s declaring that this salvation story didn’t come from the mind of man. No, this is divine design, holy strategy, heaven’s blueprint!

And how does Paul end it? With a shout! “Amen!” That’s not just a period—it’s a praise! It’s a seal of certainty, a declaration of trust, a thunderous “So be it!”

So what’s the point of all this gospel truth? It’s not just to inform your mind—it’s to ignite your worship. It’s to glorify the only wise God through Jesus Christ, as we live holy, walk worthy, and witness boldly.

To Him be glory forever and ever. Amen! And let the church say… Amen!
