The pen is laid down. The inspired letter is finished. Three verses close Romans in an impressive economy of words, centering on Christ, celebrating the gospel, and commending all glory and honor and praise to God. “Now to Him … be glory forevermore through Jesus Christ! Amen.” This models more than epistolary etiquette. It calls for more than momentary adoration. It demonstrates a deeper principle and beseeches a broader, more defining reality. Doctrine is purposed for doxology.
