Paul's Plan to Visit Rome
Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen. Rom 15:33
God of peace... In the book of Romans, what God is:
1. A witness (Rom. 1:9)
2. Uncorruptible (Rom. 1:23)
3. Impartial (Rom. 2:11)
4. Judge (Rom. 2:16; 3:6)
5. God of all people (Rom. 3:29)
6. God of patience and consolation (Rom. 15:5)
7. God of hope (Rom. 15:13)
8. God of peace (Rom. 15:33; 16:20)
9. Only wise One (Rom. 16:27)
Who is this God of peace? His name is Jesus Christ our Lord. He is the King of Peace. If He be with you, you have eternal life within you. This Scripture in Matthew in Jesus’ own Words promises all believers His presence.
Mat. 28:20 “Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, [even] unto the end of the world. Amen.”
Just as God is our hope; He is also the source of true peace.
Paul
closed this section with a brief benediction: The
God of peace (cf. Rom. 16:20; also cf. “the God of hope,” Rom.
15:13) be with you all. Amen. This is the third benediction in this
chapter (cf. Rom. 15:5, 15:13).
