Wise About the Weight

Romans 16 closes with a doxology, lifting our eyes to the glory of God. After tracing the depth of the gospel, Paul ends by reminding us that God alone carries the true weight of glory. We were never made to bear that weight ourselves, yet we often chase empty glory and try to prove our own strength. Paul points instead to the power of God that strengthens us in weakness, the mystery of Christ now revealed through the gospel, and the obedience of faith that flows from trusting Him. The only wise response is to be honest about our weakness, turn from vain glory, and give every ounce of weight to the only wise God through Jesus Christ.
