24. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.25. Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,26. But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:27. To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen.Romans 16:24-27 Paul, in his letter, prays that the grace of Christ be with all. (Amen.) This is a Hebrew word meaning, let it be so. For without Christ, there is no saving grace. He is the author and the finisher of our redemption. Paul calls the Gospel his because he received it from Christ after his conversion, and he did not vary from what he was taught. It is the power of God and His authority that we are saved. We have no way to remove sin. But Christ has paid the debt for us. And it is perfect, and nothing needs to be added to it. The mystery of Christ revealed in God's time for all of mankind. Is an invitation to seek forgiveness and step out of darkness into the Light. Where the Light is no darkness can be. God is speaking to us through His Son. To come to repentance, the sin is out of His sight. Because it was all laid on the Son. Christ became the Mediator between God and sinful mankind. The Father has been glorified through Christ's obedience. He is the door to heaven. Paul says Amen. Let it be so to all who believe. Hallelujah.
