What blessed you the most from Sunday’s message?
LET’S TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT ROMANS 16:25-27:
Understanding the Mystery: What is the “mystery” that Paul refers to in verse 25, and how has it been revealed? How does this relate to the overall message of Romans?
The Power of God: Verse 25 speaks of God’s power to “strengthen” or “establish” believers. What are some practical ways we can experience God’s strengthening power in our lives?
Role of Scriptures: Verse 26 mentions that the mystery of the Gospel is made known through the prophetic writings of the Bible. How does the Old Testament teach us about who Jesus is and why He is the Messiah, the Savior of God’s people?
Obedient Faith: Verse 26 mentions “the obedience of faith.” The Bible does not teach a “salvation by works.” So what does the phrase “obedience of faith” mean?
Universal Scope: The passage mentions “all nations” in verse 26. How does this universal scope affect our understanding of God’s plan for humanity?
Glory to God: Verse 27 ends with a doxology, giving glory to God. Why is it important to give God the glory in all things, and how can we do this in our daily lives?
Personal Application: Based on this passage, what is one action step you can take to live in the “obedience of faith”?
