"Now to Him who is able to establish you. . ." Romans 16:25
Paul ends his book to the Romans with praise to God who is able to establish you. This is an interesting way to speak to the body of Christ. The word itself means to make more firm. Kind of the idea of taking root and being firmly decided about a course of action. What is interesting to me are the things that God says he will use.
1. The gospel
2. The preaching of Jesus Christ
3. The revelation of the mystery revealed
4. The commandment of the eternal God
These things are not the things we might first think of, but when we are assured of these things, we can have hope because they are certain, and therefore we can be firm in our assurance that God is working for us.
