Romans 16.25-27

How do you say goodbye in a letter? Most times, when you end a letter, you end it with a signature. In common practice, the end of a letter points to the sender.
For Paul, this is not enough.  He ends the letter of Romans with a soaring doxology to God. Paul signs off by giving the glory to God.
For Paul the glory of God is foremost.  His mission seeks not to bring himself into focus.  His mission magnifies "the only wise God, through Jesus Christ" (Rom 16.27).
May our lives magnify and glorify God in Christ!
