Doxology

A doxology is defined as "A liturgical formula of praise to God". At the end of Romans 16, Paul sums up his letter of justification through faith by giving a beautiful doxology that I think is a great connection between God's greatness and our need for Him:

"Now to him who is able to strengthen you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery that was kept secret for long ages but has now been disclosed and through the prophetic writings has been made known to all nations, according to the command of the eternal God, to bring about the obedience of faith - to the only wise God be glory forevermore through Jesus Christ! Amen."
