Conclusion: Ways Paul Demonstrates His Life Mission

So in three ways Paul emphasizes that he is utterly committed to his life mission among the Roman Christians. His life mission is to bring about the

obedience of faith for the sake of God's glory (verse 5).

He emphasizes this in verse 8 by thanking God for them because their faith is vital and visible with obedience so that the reputation of it has spreadeverywhere. And the name of God is exalted here because he is the one being thanked for the treasure of faith.

He emphasizes it in verse 9-12 by calling God to witness what no one else can see, namely, Paul's inner service to God in the gospel as he prays

continually that God would bring Paul to Rome for the sake of strengthening their faith and for his to be strengthened. Here again the aim is strong

faith, and God will get the glory because Paul is depending on God to get him there and to give the spiritual gifts that will build the faith.

Finally Paul emphasizes his mission to bring about the obedience of faith for the sake of God's glory by saying in verse 13 that the reason he has

planned to go to Rome for so long was "to have fruit" among them, as among the rest of the gentiles. Which I take to mean again the fruit of faith

"the obedience of faith."

The lesson for us in this is manifest: If we are committed to the supremacy of God in all things for the joy of all peoples, let us be committed to

bringing about the obedience of faith in each other and among the peoples of our neighborhood and the nations.
