Romans 15-16  Paul comes to the end of his letter to the Romans, summing up his message with a reminder of the grace of God to both Jews and Gentiles.  "Accept one another, just as Christ also accepted us to the glory of God."  Paul writes.( v7)

   Christ came to "become a servant to the circumcision" ;  He confirmed the Truth of God's promises through the prophets;  and He came to bring hope to the Gentiles, showing mercy to all.  (v8-12)

Paul's prayer is this, " Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." ( v13)  What a great prayer of blessing!

Paul greets, by name, many believers in Rome and sends greetings from his friends.  His final prayer is this, " Now to Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which has been kept secret for long ages past, but now is manifested and by the Scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the eternal God, has been made known to all the nations, leading to the obedience of faith; to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, be the glory forever, Amen."  ( v25-27)

Father in heaven, all glory and honor and praise we give to You.  Thank You for giving us hope in Christ Jesus.  Thank You for manifesting the mystery of Your mercy and grace to all who will come to obedient faith. You "establish" us. You " accept"  us.  You justify and save us.  Thank You .
Fill us with the power of the Holy Spirit, with all joy and peace in believing, that we may abound in hope.  Amen!
